Tickets cannot currently be collected at Mullingar station (and therefore cannot be booked online from there) due to the lack of a ticket collection machine. Ticket vending machines are being upgraded around the country at the moment with the software necessary to collect reserved tickets and once this is in place reservations should be enabled originating from Mullingar.

There are still some services offering €10 single from Dublin to Mullingar; for example on Tuesday the 1105 and 1305 services are both €10, and the 1105 on Friday is also €10. The 0905 services are also €10 on both days, although actually booking that journey may be challenging.

The front page is a bit cluttered at the moment, so it isn't listed, but I presume the €10 booking office (after 0930?) fare are also available.
