Irish Rail have choosen to prioritise a half hourly DART service between Bray and Greystones over services to and from Wexford and Rosslare. This has resulted in extraordinarily slow journey times between Connolly and Greystones with Wexford/Rosslare passengers having their journey time extended by about 20 minutes as a consequence.

Incidentally off-peak DART sevices between Bray and Greystones typically carry about 15 to 20 passengers.

There is some scope also for tightening schedules south of Greystones and given the significant amount of money spent on track, signalling and rolling stock, it should be possible to raise speed limits at varios locations, particularly Wicklow/Rathdrum and Arklow/Enniscorthy.

Don't hold your breadth though as Irish Rail have almost zero interest in the route.
