Why would services other than Sligo/Maynooth be subject to anything other than minimal incidental delay ? Do they intend to hold DART trains in Connolly to connect with the re-timed morning service from Sligo or is this simply a lazy catch all ? |

I presume this is to do with the commissioning of the new platform and the associated signalling.

Sure is.
Under EU 1371/2007 Irish Rail is obliged to give notice of any foreseeable delay. So if a Sligo train is late off Connolly it can get in the way of an Enterprise. So delay is unlikely, and if there is Irish Rail have covered there backside

"Due to the large number of speed restrictions, poor timetable design, inadequate infrastructure and indifferent operational practices, all DART, Commuter, Belfast Enterprise, Sligo and Rosslare services are subject to delays of 10 to 30 minutes every day for the indefinite future." Should cover off EU requirements as well as rear ends. |

Regulation only applies to cross border services
