If anything, if the original plans are put into play, there would have been a 21:00hrs service to Mullingar calling at all stations.

In my exp thus far with irish rail the 18.05 and the 18.17 to Longford are simply the worst trains to get on. With the 18.17 at least around two years ago is actually a case of being a sardine (I haven't taken it since out of fear) - I once counted 4 people standing for every one that was sitting. You are literally in somebody else's face and it's nasty when the train get's stuck on a line.
The ideal situation would be something like this (not sure how practical it would be with available trains & flow on the line etc):
18.10 - Connolly - Longford = 6 car
19.10 - Connolly - Mullingar = 3 car
21.10 - Connolly - Sligo = 3 car?
Either that or just don't have the 18.05 stop at Maynooth (they have the DART after all).
