A problem on new platform at Limerick Junction

Irish Rail has built a new platform at Limerick Junction.

The platform is in service since September. It is a big addition to the station. It is for passengers boarding trains heading south.

On Monday afternoon the platform was closed to passengers. It meant the old system of up and down trains coming into the station on the same side was in operation. A delay either to up or down trains means a delay to both.

The new Platform 4 was closed because the lift was not in service.

How often are station lifts out of service?

Why did Irish Rail not build an underpass at Limerick Junction with escalators? Would it not have made more sense?
