but delays aren't strictly inevitable.

When they were doing the bridge replacement about a month ago it was nowhere near as bad because they decided to run out of Sligo 15 minutes early. The result of this was that the trains kept the timetable after Longford and so everything lined up for passing.

I don't understand why they don't just do this again until the line re-opens.
