Traditionally there were two trains on Friday evenings, one for Westport and one for Ballina. Now there is only one train. While the 1445 service is very welcome, it is not an evening service and does not relieve the 1815 to any great extent - hence the requirement for the 1710 being extended to Westport on Fridays.
There was no problems before the new timetable because there was a 15.30 and 18.30 before the new timetable changed. Moving the 15.30 to 14.45 is where the problem lies. The majority of students finish collage around 14.00 and getting from the likes of DCU or UCD to Heuston in 45 minutes is cutting it tight. The 15.30 used to operate direct on a Friday to Westport and Galway passengers got a bus from Athlone for a while before a train was started.

Overall the 14.45 should be move to 15.45 if possible as 12.45 and 14.45 are to close and 14.45 and 18.15 are to far apart.
