Curiously Irish Rail have told us of no plan to close the line in the near future. We asked them, the talk is coming from the DoT not IE that said Irish Rail is notorious for not knowing what it is doing.

Passenger loadings on the previous Waterford - Wexford service were single digits in fact the only person who travelled through did so from Limerick Junc not from Waterford when I last travelled

The bus is Rosslare - Wexford - Waterford whereas the train is Wexford - Rosslare - Waterford

Bus is quicker from Wexford that the train, train is faster from Rosslare
