Arranging the schedule so that trains in either direction meet at Limerick Junction and Mallow affords maximum advantage in terms of connections although the downside of passengers having to transfer to connecting trains via footbridge, lift or subway mightn't be universally welcomed.

I challenge anyone to deboard, clean, and reboard a Mk4 in ten minutes. Even skip the cleaning if you restore the onboard cleaner. Really eight, since gates close two minutes before train departure. And that leaves absolutely no slack in the event of delays.
