If there was any such in place then a train from Connolly for Rosslare at 13:10 the previous train(Dart) was at 13:05 and before that 12:55 the Rosslare would travel the wrong track and change back in at Pearse this creating a by-pass of the Dart train and not having passengers at Connolly waiting for 20mins therefore waiting for max 7mins for the next Dart to Bray.... The Dart train would be at Tara Street and the Rosslare train would pass it out change back into the correct track there would be another dart at Pearse waiting for the green - Is this so hard!! etc down to Bray.. Creating 25mins for the journey.

And what of the trains coming in the opposite direction? Too dangerous and if a railcar breaks down it'll cause chaos. DARTS also run frequently late for many reasons, and this will also make this idea unworkable.

Keith, as a regular, would you have a problem changing at Bray?
