What are the current stats?

Just some speed restriction observations from the 07:30 Cork - Dublin & 19:00 return on the 17 April 2010:

Limerick Junction seems to be the longest (for trains not calling at the station).
Cherryville Junction (in both directions) due to the new crossover being put in place (I think 25mph both directions)
Ballybrophy station (recent trackwork)
An area just south of Portarlington (relaying of new track)
Down slow line (from Inchicore - Hazelhatch) is limited to 50mph at the moment (I think?)

Even with the speed restrictions in place, the 07:30 Cork - Dublin was 15mins early getting into Dublin!
