4 1/2 to 5 minutes between Drumcondra and Broombridge is the norm.
However there are a few 'quirky' timings - e.g. the 0700 from Longford is allowed 10 1/2 minutes from B/bridge to D/condra.
The 0700 from Longford is allowed 5 minutes from Drumcondra to Connolly whereas the 0758 (Jan 15 timetable) from Maynooth is allowed 9 1/2 minutes; the same train is allowed 5 minutes between Broombridge and Drumcondra.
I'm sure there are good reasons for these 'contradictory' timings?

Anyone know when the train information screens will be operational on the Maynooth line?

Incidentally a door opening/closing problem on to-day's 1322 from Connolly to Drogheda delayed departure until 1334 - it's a 2600 class DMU.
