What you are missing is that IE agreed with NIR on a new Enterprise timetable to fit around the new 10 minute DART timetabld.

IE then at the last minute postponed the introduction of the changes to the DART timetable.

NIR had made the changes to their internal timetable to fit around the new Enterprise timetable and would have issued new schedules on the basis that it was going ahead.

Basically the decision not to implement the DART timetable change came too late for NIR to reverse the changes as I understand it.
I sense some excuses, the public and IE knew weeks in advance the timetable would not be implemented and even with the proposed 10 minute timetable it was changed after the consultation.

NIR started up upload the new changed timetable just 4 days before IE announced it publicly it was cancelled. Do you really think NIR were not made aware as they were able to adjust the timetable to fit around the differences between draft and what is currently operating.

Perhaps it's not a bad thing to get passengers used to the new normal on the route but at least drivers could comply with the schedule.
