Waterford towards Rosslare has always done better than expectations since the Barrow Bridge makes the rail route, even in its current state much quicker than by car

There is a morning service in and evening service out.

There is a redevelopment ongoing in Rosslare, talk of 2000+ jobs. The port facilities are being redeveloped as well. Chances are the terminal building is moving as well. The new station is actually on the site of the original station in Rosslare. Anyone familiar with the walk to Pier D in Dublin airport knows what a walk is, Rosslare is nothing in comparison

The plan is to relay the entire route with second hand stuff off the Cork line, there was work ongoing up until last year when the WRC and Midleton hijacked all the resources. A train every 2 hours is part of the plan with full resignalling as well. Waterford station is to be rebuilt as well
