Arrived at killucan at 19:04. Driver announced there would be a 20 minute delay due to late running of the Sligo-dublin train. At 19:14 driver announced that Sligo train had just arrived at mullingar. We left Kiilucan once dublin bound train had passed us at 19:24. Arrived in Mullingar at 19:32

Why could we not have continued to Mullingar arriving at 19:12 approx? There are two platforms there that could have accomodated both trains and would have prevented our 20 minute delay getting in to Mullingar. Is there some problem with the points/signals at Mullingar statiion to prevent this?
