I have a few you may or may not like.
From Gorey you have three morning trains 05.55 / 06.45 & 08.24, Then a massive 5 and half hour gap for the next 14.01 Then another Five hour gap for the 19.01 to Dublin. Why on earth would I travel on the 06.45 and arrives into Dublin 08.45 Two hours,When the bus takes 1hr15mins(Wexford Bus). Times to the City from Gorey take 1hr41mins to 2hrs

Trains from Dublin 09.40 / 13.36 / 16.37 / 17.36 & 18.38 They do suit alot of people bar the last service. Times from the City to Gorey at best range from 1hr40 to 1hr53.

Anyway getting way of point, I would really like to see speed increases and more services to Wexford and vice-a-versa and all trains are InterCity operated 22k. 06.00 / 07.00 / 09.00 / 11.30 / 13.30 / 16.00 / 19.00 would do fine Gorey to Dublin. Really need a late morning service in and around 11am ish to get into Dublin by Lunch.
09.00 / 11.00 / 13.00 / 15.30 / 17.00 / 18.00 / 19.30 would be great Dublin to Wexford/Rosslare.

Rosslare Hbr to Gorey will take 1hr.
Gorey to Bray should take 1hr serving the main stations ex Kilcoole.
Bray to Connolly really should take at best 30mins. Bray to Dun Laoghaire 13-16mins and Dun Laoghaire to Pearse 10mins,Extra 5+ mins to reach Connolly. 1hr+1hr+30=2hr30. Rosslare from Bray should be 2hrs.
The section between Bray and Connolly because of the DART frequency's is the main time set back. Have the Rosslare trains kriss-cross tracks and kriss-cross back onto the northbound right direction track passing out the DART train, vice-a-versa Connolly to Bray...
