60 and 50 mph at the main junction at Lavistown (depending on route);
Its down to 25 inbound and outbound at the junction for trains to/from Waterford at Lavistown and less than 50 for Dublin side.

(it is not considered wise to go from 80 to 30 in one go).
If so why does it drop from 70-80 miles to 25 all of a sudden approching the Lavistown J from Thomastwon side and many times the driver can't get the train down to 25 in time as ends up going way faster over the junction. The 25mph sign is seconds before the juction and you would think that somebody pulled the emergency brake.
