Problem is you have to serve the whole route and the potential for ferry passengers. There are redevelopment plans for Rosslare harbour with some form of technology or industrial complex planned

Rosslare Strand could actually be skipped in one direction to minimise journey times.

Bear in mind the Rosslare Strand - Europort section is taken flat out at 70 mph. Its a massive difference compared to swaying along at 40mph
