Just thought i'd mention that last nights 1700 Connolly-Sligo stopped a bit short at Mullingar, leaving a walk into thin air off the end of the last carriage. It's happened a few times over the last few month, despite the platform being extended a few years back. Maybe it's time to bring back the "please move forward" announcements.

The platform is good for 170m so there is no reason for the coach not to be at the platform

Normal Mk2 set is 6 standards, van and locomotive which is shorter than a 8 coach railcar

If 7 standards are used the last coach won't be at the platform

Lack of a warning is unacceptable
