As with so many things in Irish regional rail, it's the design of Limerick Junction that causes the problem here.

It ends up with running far too many services because a train to Limerick or Waterford can't connect with both a Dublin-bound and Cork-bound train at the same time.

If you can manage that part, you only need 1 shuttle and hour.

The question then becomes what are the operational savings and can they justify the capital cost of realignment.
The layout does cause problems but there is still room for improvement as it is.
