City to Skerries, Ballbriggan and Rush and Lusk are the same fare (annual tickets are the same for all stations within Dublin anyway) if you where into maximising return you would loose Ballbriggan in favour of Rush and Lusk since you save a fraction on diesel since you carry less weight for more miles
18:40 arrives Drogheda 19:21, taking 41 minutes enterprise arrives 19:31, 10 minutes behind
The 18:23 Connolly Dundalk calls all Donabate Drogheda arriving 19:17, 54 minutes, so you can say each stop costs you 4 minutes roughly
Now the 18:40 runs on to Dundalk so it needs a 7 minute gap so the enterprise behind gets green signals doing the math you can't even make one stop extra
Point to note is Skerries has the highest % of rail commuters by population of any town in Ireland, Malahide is second
