Well I did it; I finally travelled on the Waterford Rosslare route. The train was empty after Campile and the journey to there the most scenic part of the route. From Wexford to Gorey (where we terminated) there were three of us! IE staff uniformly friendly and helpful throughout. Incidentally, we left Enniscorthy at 1955 and arrived into Gorey at 2010, well ahead of schedule. The whole Rosslare Dublin timetable seems absurdly padded!
I enjoyed the whole experience as I last travelled Waterford Rosslare in 1981 and the trains then were really shabby!
The Dublin Cork line is very modern if not particularly fast; these secondary services feel like a throwback to a much earlier era of travel.
