If the 5:45 had been given priority it would have had a ripple effect heavily delaying the 7:05 from Dublin, delaying it by 25-30 minutes into Sligo
There is apparently some scenario software in use which plots the outcome of various options, but it doesn't consider the factor of the number of passengers on each train and that Dublin bound should have increased priority in the morning rush.
As long as there are single track lines this problem will arise
There is obviously something very wrong with the 5:45 train it seems to have massive problems running to time, despite having a clear run the whole way
