Not in my experience. In fact, intermediate departures tend to be late, as recovery time is placed towards the end of the journey. The 0515 ex Cork invariably leaves Portarlington late; drivers do not push it, as it follows the stopper in from Newbridge, so a good driver will try and avoid running too close to it and have to stop appraoching every station.
