I have joined the 0635 from Galway at Athenry on numerous occasions and have never seen it depart Athenry early, although with so much padding in the timetables early departures are unacceptably common throughout the system. Galway/Athenry is fairly sharply timed and while an early departure from Athenry is possible, it is difficult to achieve given the temporary speed limit in the vicinity of Galway station unless the train also departs Gaway ahead of schedule.
Unlike Cork, early departures from Galway are not, in my experience, the norm.
