I always got the impression that even if people boarded or exited as fast as possible the train would always sit there for a while anyway. They're certainly in no rush because any time I get the train they drift into the stations, glide the last 50m, sit for while after the doors close, sit for a bit at the signals just after the stations and sit for a bit at the signals just before the station you want to exit at.

I might be cynical because I typically only travel Kilbarrack to Connolly or, worst again, Clontarf Road to Connolly where most my time is spent waiting on the train
