Parnell's single platform is located to the north of the tracks, integrated into the pavement. It is the most northerly stop on the one-way system at the centre of the green line. To the east of the stop is a junction where the two tracks meet and head north on their way from Brides Glen to Broombridge. However, trams which originate at Sandyford turn right at this junction, turning back the way they came; these trams display "Parnell" on their destination boards.^[2]
