I thought I had heard that they were planning on sorting out Enfield but perhaps I am wrong.

They used to cross the 1700 from Sligo with the 17:15 to Longford at Enfield and it wasn't treated as a stop for the up-train.

But currently no trains are timetabled to cross at Enfield so it can't be used without reversing one of the trains. That leaves the choice between Maynooth and Killucan which incurs an extra 15 - 20 minute delay for one of the trains or reversing a train back into Enfield.
