Politcos in Longford sunk the later train, it required the 18:05 to Longford to terminate in Mullingar return to Dublin and run back out to Mullingat. Parish pump politics once again sink sensible solutions to real problems
Was the plan not to run the 18:18 as far as Maynooth/Mullingar and run it back to Pearse in time to form the 21:00

It makes sense that with the 18:05 non-stop running the 18:18 tends to be quiet empty after Maynooth/Mullingar the 18:18 should be cut back. Longford does not need 2 commuter trains within the space of 15 minutes of each other.
