Rosslare Strand railway station (Irish: "Stáisiún Thrá Ros Láir") serves the town of Rosslare Strand in County Wexford, Ireland. The station is at the junction of the lines to Dublin Connolly and Limerick Colbert. There are two platforms, one of which is served by a passing loop. The line to Waterford and Limerick Junction can only be accessed via the second platform, the junction being located on the passing loop. Prior to track modifications made in 1973 it was possible to access the Waterford line from both platforms.
