That gives those passenger a 30 minute service between 17.10-18.10.

Problem with a 1740 stopping all stops after Naas is the 1800 Cork! 20mins headway is insufficient.
For example, the 1810 holds up the 1830 to Galway which often has to slow by the time it reaches Kildare. But the 1810, even though it skips 2 stops, takes a leisurely 43 mins to Kildare. But a 1740 would still be caught by the 1800 well before Portlaoise. Rule No 1: don't slow a Cork train!
