The original signalling arrangements were West Rd (electro mechanical), Liffey Junction (mechanical), Clonsilla (electric panel + mechanical) and Maynooth (mechanical)
West Rd, Liffey Junction were automated as part of Connolly West in 1991 and are part of the real-time system hence Docklands and Drumcondra have working display.
When the Maynooth line was resignalled the existing panel at Clonsilla was connected to Maynooth and controlled from there
Maynooth line automation won't save on staff costs, but once everything is brought to Dublin things can be rejigged
