What is nonsensical about providing passengers with parking at Wexford when some who wish to travel by train to Waterford already drive to Wellington Bridge where there is plenty of parking space? Can't understand why the travelling public haven't the right to a decent level of service and all that goes with that in Co Wexford. We'll just have to disagree but there's plenty of space for a redevelopent at Wexford O'Hanrahan to include integrated rail and bus and car parking on idel land. Bus Eireann made a huge mistake in Waterford moving across the bridge to the Quays, I cannot understand what's nonsensical about my proposals.
I don't know whether you're referring to the former Europort station at Rosslare where passengers could get a meal or the new station (or nowhere port as its called by some locals) at Rosslare Harbour.
On the point of incentivising Irish Rail to develop freight, Its clear to me that IE have no interest in developing freight. Incentivising an organisation where there is no will is not the optimal use of resources and time. Its also clear that a political decision nees to be made now on the matter and not a business one. If the will is there on the part of the minister then it can be so.
