There are nine platforms, eight terminal platforms and one through platform. The through platform is known as "Platform 10", though there is no platform nine. It is some distance from the main concourse of the station. Prior to its recent upgrade, there were five terminal platforms. Platform 1 is an extension to Platform 2, and only reachable via that platform. The station was called Kingsbridge Station from its opening in 1844 until its renaming in 1966 after Sean Heuston , an Easter Rising rebel who previously worked in the station offices. The station was designed by Sancton Wood . Since its renewal it includes two branches of Eason's , as well as some cafés/restaurants, including a Supermacs , and a Pub .
