TBH The Wexford line needs later service, both to and from Dublin. 18:38 is very early for the last train out of Dublin. Only Waterford suffers from a similarly early departure.
The Rosslare Line signalman is on duty in Greystones until the last DART departs so it is all a red herring.

In the past it could be argued that keeping signal boxes open late cost money but this is not the case now.
