One thing to note

DART can be moving within 2 seconds of the doors closing
Railcar takes easily 10 seconds to get moving, clutch, brake, gear etc

Bray Howth (without GCD and Clontraf Rd) the maths said 56 minutes, they did it in 57 on the road and gave it a 60 minute time, fair

If you look at the Maynooth times they vary dramatically off peak-peak down to the extra weight of passengers and the longer dwell times to load/unload

There is certainly scope to tighten it up but the Irish commuting public are not anyway as ordered as in London or Paris
