Why would you want to stop the 1650 Enterprise at Drogheda ? - the service is already miserably slow and normally standing room only. This service never stopped in Drogheda and up until a few years ago didn't serve Dundalk eiher.

If you want to improve the Drogheda service, the better approach would be to drop stops and accelerate the 1713 ex Pearse wth the 1707 Balbriggan following. Alternately terminate the 1713 ex Pearse at Drogheda and run the 1707 ex Connolly at 1720, express to Laytown and then Drogheda, Dundalk and heaven forbid Newry. Given that the 1713 ex Pearse hangs about in Connolly for almost five minutes the express service could take a connection off the 1713 - win win for everybody.
