I have heard drivers of this train make annoucements apologising for the lateness of the train and then advising that they will attempt to make up time on the way.Just shows the level of padding in the timetable I suppose.

This train also seems to slow down every morning going through Newbridge and Sallins. Can't see how this is related to Adamstown or Kildare Rail Project, any ideas?

There may or may not be a 70 mph limit Dubli nbound through Newbridge, there has been a 50mph limit Dublin bound through Sallins at times, otherwise what you are experiencing catching the train in front driver gets a yellow starts to slow only for the next signal to clear to green, it happens quite a lot
