I suspect that service would spend a good deal of time getting delayed in Limerick Junction.

What might be useful would be to run trains through to Limerick Junction as this would reduce times and changes for both Ennis/Sixmilebridge-Dublin and Galway-Cork passengers.

I can't see any real operational reasons not to run through to Limerick Junction.

If the connections were sorted, Galway-Cork should be possible in 3h 20, which is 25 minutes faster than Citylink and over an hour faster than Bus Eireann, so at least the WRC could beat something timewise.
