I was raised in Rosslare but now live in Cardiff and we have often used this service when we need to get up to Dublin to see family. Ireland has not got the best public transport links in Europe but it is craziness to make them even worse. Improve

Please readjust the times of trains to suit the commuting public. Then reassess any decision. Please keep this train going

Utter madness to reduce this service. The issue with the train and the ferry has been on going since I moved to Wexford in 1980 36 years ago. Unlikely they will change the schedule. But might increase passengers if they did

Make some special offers for Dublin day returns. Put it within reach of families who would love to enjoy one of the most scenic trips in Ireland It is too expensive

The Wexford train is synonymous with our connection to Dublin and to employment opportunities. Clearly it has to be viable to survive - a more frequent, reasonably priced service would offer a competitive and more comfortable commute to Dublin compared with very reasonable buses. Why is it not feasible to schedule train to meet ferry - Rosslare is the main direct connection to Europe especially for foot passengers. Given the situation with Brexit I would think we need to maintain every opportunity to provide services direct to And from Europe.

My family and I use the train on a regular basis. I feel strongly that it would be a great loss to Wexford if we were to lose our train line.

Save the Wexford train service to Rosslare. Make the necessary changes to the schedule to ensure it meets the needs of the area and the public.

This is one of the most scenic train journeys in the country. With some planning to get the train to connect with the boat sailings in Rosslare allied to a marketing campaign to offer 'high tea' and the best rail trip in the country, it would be profitable. DO NOT AXE THIS TRAIN, WEXFORD NEEDS IT.

I am a regular train user for work purposes. The current service is appallingly bad with inconsistent rolling stock and service levels (e.g. Tea trolley) but at least I can review documents and do some work. Driving to Dublin City center in a single occupant vehicle is significantly faster, but I cant work when driving, and the traffic management strategy for Dublin is to DISCOURAGE cars entering the city centre. The NTA's proposal is inconsistent with govt obligations under Paris Climate change agreement and highlights the disjointed approach to transport planning in Ireland.

The train is of great value to the area on a number of levels, which in turn makes it valuable on a national level.
