There is no problem in Waterford, only last week I was onboard a Limerick Junc - Rosslare service which was able to use the main Waterford platform when a Dublin train was present on the main platform, no problems no fuss. In reality this is a routine event as the train leaves Limerick Junction late due to the train from Dublin being late.

There is a crossover about half way down which splits the platform in half a bit like the way Limerick Junction used to be.

Its not a technical problem its an attitude problem, if the 4 trains a day had been maintained the connection with the Dublin train towards Rosslare would be in since 10 minutes was cut off most Dublin - Waterford services.

No need for a second platform at Wexford, there is a loop north of the station. The cost would be 5+ million to meet accessibility standards. The new signaling allows for a train to start/terminate from Dublin.
