Yes it is. If said train is delayed it messes up trains on both lines. Modern rail planning/best practice is to remove crossovers on train lines so that there is no knock on effect with delays.
Basically, you're trading 12 trains per hour in each direction (train every 5 mins) for having to change trains at Pearce.
To get to Connelly you can back track at Pearce via Tara St. across the loop line or via the Luas. Given the increased frequencies of trains the end to end journey time would prob be similar enough.
