Back in 2007 Irish Rail proposed cutting back one of the 3 Dublin Longford evening trains to Mullingar and providing a 21:00 or 21:15 Connolly Longford service. Longford has a ridiculous 6 trains, 4 of which are express between 4 and 7pm there simply isn't demand to justify this

Seemed a very reasonable deal but the local politicians got in the way and Irish Rail didn't go ahead with it

So if you can stomach the Bray Longford train going to Mullingar only then you can have your later train to Longford

We sadly don't have the time to produce an entire week of timetables but beyond peak hours it shouldn't be that hard to fit any requirement. Looking at the timetable a 21:05 departure is the logical choice to keep the Sligo line pattern
