The WRC as a concept has a huge advantage over Rosslare. Its hinterland (for the whole run of it) covers about 6 constituencies while Rosslare's only covers 2.

I don't normally defend the Nenagh line but with a very small amount of investment its numbers are quite similar to something that cost 100 million. What has a bigger advantage over the WRC is the Limerick Junction-Waterford line. This line has seen no investment just the usual maintenance costs etc yet carries more people than the WRC per train.
