Tara Street Rail Station is not bicycle friendly

Tara Street Rail Station is one of the busiest stations on the DART line.

It has an elevator and an ascending escalator. But it has no descending escalator.

Nor does it have a ramp that would allow passengers with bicycles to wheel them down with ease.

At busy times, and that's most occasions when a DART arrives, it is not feasible to take a bicycle in the lift as it is filled with walking passengers.

It means a passenger with a bicycle has to lift it down a long stairway, too long.

It all adds up to say that Tara Street Station is not bicycle friendly.

There's more.

Tara St. is the only city centre mainline station without a toilet. I'm comparing here with Connolly, Pearse & Heuston.
