It would be nice if there was part of the Sligo line that could be cleared to 80mph+ to get real advantage out of the faster sets but I guess that's what you get when you build a line beside a canal?

On an historical note, the railway bought the Royal Canal and intended to fill it in for the railway. In the event they built it in parallel hence all the sharp curves. ( I know not really passenger related but it does explain the reason for the curves)
