Not trying to take away from what looks like a good tour, but I’d have to question that last statement.
Four passenger trains each weekday use the connecting line between Platform 1 at Limerick Junction and the line to/from Limerick.
05:25 Limerick/Dublin Heuston
07:45 Thurles/Limerick
08:55 Limerick/Dublin Heuston
16:25 Dublin Heuston/Limerick

Presumably it means the crossover to the Down Main for Mallow (en route to Killarney)?

But sure that’s used every weekday by the 07:00 Dublin Heuston/Cork?
Ok no train uses a combination of the two sections of track, but both sections of track do see daily use on weekdays.
Following enquiries re: departure time, while the paths have yet to be finalised (the IÉ timetable has been in a period of review lately, so naturally and rightly that takes priority over ours), I can confirm that departure from Heuston will give NI participants time to get over from the first Enterprise's arrival in Connolly.
As I type there are 6 Emerald (First) Class places left, with Torc filling up nicely too (Torc = standard seat but with all the add on trimming we're giving Emerarld, morning snack box, souvenir of the day, tea/coffee on departure in the morning). At €120 we feel it compares very well to even the typical Standard Class fares elsewhere.

Times for this tour now confirmed
Now added, this loop was out of use for a while and has no scheduled services through it so might be one those who like their bobbins.
(The tour is scheduled to cross a service train there and with only platform the loop is the only option
)
