Em that might be a tad tricky, as if it did, it and the 1505 ex-Connolly would crash into one another between Sligo and Collooney. They pass at Sligo loop.

While I don't disagree about the time taken between Connolly and Maynooth, the extra time built into the stops at Edgeworthstown and Boyle are essential to maintain the smooth running of the single line.

If you don't build recovery time into the timetable on a route like that you would end up with total chaos for the rest of the day if something goes wrong earlier.

Bear in mind that most trains cross with three other trains en route at Maynooth, Edgeworthstown and Boyle.
