Mark, what about the railcars that are tightly squeezed between two DART services.I often see them cruising along.Most of these are the Bray express Commuter Branded trains.The point I am trying to make is that at that pace they can afford an extra stop or two.With a dart two or three minutes ahead as it has been in a lot of cases,the Commuter can't pick up speed.Therefore, SOME of them could be used to fill in gaps in one or more timetables to allow the train ahead to get further afield so that after it services Dun Laoghaire it can pick up speed.I would see it as making the most of what there is to improve the frequency as much as possible.
