The problem of the 1835 being only a 3-car set is evidence of really bad management: for a start it's advertised as 1st and 2nd class, which should imply a 6-car set.
Since the cancellation of the 1650 ex Waterford, the timetable is very unbalanced. The 1315 from Dublin arrives in Waterford at 1525, followed by 4 other arrivals (the Down 1510, 1640, 1735 and 1835). There is only one departure from Waterford after 1525, the 1820. Which raises the question: how does the 1315 from Dublin get back: attached to the 1820 from Waterford, which is the return working of the 1510 ex Dublin (?) - which only can happen the the 1510 is a 3-car. Failing this, the only way it can get back is the next morning, but that implies that at least one of the 1640, 1735or 1935 must be a 3-car.
Of course there is the possibility of an ECS return - which I think can be ruled out.
