If Irish Rail want to claim fares are euro standard we can expect a euro standard service

Sligo line has two tracks to Maynooth now, not Clonsilla and has electronic signaling which saves at least a minute at every crossing point

Bear in mind the permitted line speeds on every route have increased over the last 15 years

I was traveling on a secondary route in the UK earlier this month, we hit 117 mph and cruised steadily at 100mph, you wont find any route in Ireland where you get to do more than 15 miles at 100mph
