And with the line's future constantly in doubt, who is going to commit to regularly commuting on it?

Vicious circle.

Now, if they could knock 30 minutes off the journey time and send even 1 morning train Waterford-Rosslare-Dublin, it could make a big difference. The longer time would be compensated for by the convenience of ending up in Connolly rather than Heuston and it would mean 2 trains a day on the line...
