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?

I too was very mad about this situation, it is not a one off, we are often delayed in Killucan for over 10 minutes waiting for the Sligo train. I understand if it is not far away but in 7 minutes we could be in Mullingar and wait there to pass the Sligo train on one of the many "un-used" platforms.
