Cuts more likely between Maynooth and Dublin, than further afield. Anything beyond Maynooth is considered intercity

Just to get a second platform in Enfield could cost 4 million since it must then get an accessible footbridge and other trimmings.

Enfield will only ever get a basic service, that said a basic service means a train after 9pm which few if any routes enjoy

The professional planning view is such long distance commuting is unsustainable. Everyone is entitled to a basic service, 3 trains in before 9am tends to satisfy that requirement. But the super high density train every 7.5 minutes is reserved for serious demand locations
