Since the station's refurbishment and modernisation (by Quinn Savage Smyth architects and engineers Buro Happold) its retail facilities now includes a branch of Easons, as well as some dining facilities, including a branch of Supermacs, several cafés, a kiosk, and a large pub. Due to the need to cater for increased demand and reduce delays, three new platforms were incorporated in August 2002 as part of a €170,000,000 development incorporating improved signalling and approach track-work. An additional platform, created in 1872 on the south side of the station, beyond the station roof, was known as the "military platform" - the intention being that military personnel could be kept separate from the rest of the public. Two of the lines were subsequently replaced by a two-sided platform and the remaining carriage line also removed. When first constructed the station had only two platforms separated by 5 carriage lines. The passenger terminal and buildings were built to designs by London-born architect Sancton Wood, and the train sheds and infrastructure were designed by Irish-born railway engineer John MacNeill. Heuston was one of the 16 executed by the British after that Rising, and had previously worked in the station's offices. In 1966, on the 50th anniversary of the Easter Rising, it was renamed "Heuston Station" in honour of Seán Heuston, a young railway worker who commanded a nearby post in the 1916 Easter Rising. It was originally called Kingsbridge Station after the nearby Kings Bridge over the River Liffey. The station opened on 4 August 1846 as the terminus and headquarters of the Great Southern and Western Railway (GS&WR). 2.2 Links to other main railway stations.
