It's impossible to hide in the siding in Nenagh, as you would have to wait for the other train to either reach Roscrea or Birdhill, before the signaling system would release the staff. The bodged signaling solution allows for a train to split only (and only if it originated in Birdhill). So looking at a very long wait. Siding is off limits to in service passenger trains as well

The second platform is Roscrea is still registered as a available and has been used for passengers in recent years.
