Waterford-Rosslare reopening?

There is no problem with Rosslare Europort being the terminus, but Wexford-Waterford has to have priority with the peak flows and have the generally better service.

So it could operate:
Rosslare Europort-Wexford-Waterford
Waterford-Wexford-Rosslare Europort

Felthouse-Killinick as a direct curve would only save 5km between Wexford and Waterford, but you would need to build 3km of railway, money that would be better spent elsewhere.
