Given the greatly diminished scale of operations at Waterford, rationalisation was inevitable. It would appear from reading Barry Kenny's statement that the intention is to modify the track layout so that the only access to tracks east of the redundant overhead signal box will be via the goods yard. The passenger platform will probably be accessed via a single line from Waterford West. It is possible that all arriving trains will have to stop twice between Newrath and Waterford until a more standard method of working is established. I would guess that the ultimate arrangements at Waterford will be similar to those at Sligo, Wexford or Galway - ie a crossing loop immediately on the Dublin side of the station leading to one or perhaps two platforms.
