nothing in principle against anything that brings passengers to the line however the station at Rosslare was re-located and passengers have to cross at a roundabout as traffic leaves the port. Its not satisfactory and will not attract foot passengers unless the train returns to the ferry terminal. I would like to see a return service twice if not 3 times a day Wexford Waterford, alowing Wexford passengers to go towards Limerick Junction and Waterford passengers connect with south Dublin while those who live in South Wexford who are losing their bus service to Wexford could take the train and alight in a shopping area. Is there any other station in the country with a major multiple store on the doorstep?
I feel use what's there to keep a service going. Its what I feel is important and its what I want to maintain.
