This port also serves France and traffic is mainly roll-on roll-off (RoRo). It is thought that harbour expansion and/or privatisation could improve exporting and logistical options for businesses and producers in Ireland offering an alternative to Dublin Port which dominates trade but relies on the UK corridor for much EU trade. Rosslare Harbour railway station opened on 30 August 1906.[1] Although the harbour itself is located close to the previously existing settlement of Ballygeary, and actually in the townland of Ballygillane Big, it was named after the village of Rosslare, some 4 km away (8 km by road) along the coast. The village of Ballygeary was divided into two townslands, one known as tin town and the other as straw town. It is believed this was because of the roofs on the houses. The village has a number of guesthouses, hotels, a Roman Catholic church, a bank and some shops. Just south of the harbour is a small strand leading to Greenore Point, where grey seals are usually to be seen. The harbour is home to an RNLI lifeboat station.[2] Railways and ferriesServices provided by Irish Rail on the Dublin-Rosslare railway line from Rosslare Europort railway station to major places such as Wexford, Enniscorthy, Arklow, Wicklow, Greystones, Bray to Dublin Connolly. From Dublin Connolly onward rail connections via the Sligo Line links with Longford and Sligo and the Belfast Line links with Drogheda, Dundalk, Newry, Portadown, {{stnlnk|Lisburn}} and Belfast Central. {{IERail start}}{{rail line|previous={{Stnlnk|Rosslare Strand}}|next=Terminus|route=IntercityDublin-Rosslare Line|col=FFA500}}{{Ferry Insert}}{{rail line one to two|previous=|next1=Fishguard|next2=Cherbourg|route=Stena Line Ferry |col={{ferry colour}} }}{{rail line one to three|previous=|next1=Pembroke Dock|next2=Cherbourg|next3=Roscoff|route=Irish Ferries Ferry |col={{ferry colour}} }}{{disused Rail Insert}}{{rail line|col=FFA500|previous={{Stnlnk|Rosslare Strand}}|next=Terminus|route=Intercity Limerick-Rosslare Line}}{{s-end}} Bus transportRosslare Harbour and Rosslare Europort are served by Bus Éireann routes 40, 132, 370, 379 & 385. The main route serving Rosslare Harbour is Bus Éireann Expressway route 40 which provides several services a day to/from Waterford via New Ross. Local route 370 replaces the rail service to Waterford and runs twice a day each way (except Sundays) serving locations in South County Wexford previously served by the railway; Bridgetown, Wellingtonbridge and Campile. Expressway route 2 used to link the Harbour with Dublin Airport every hour but was withdrawn in September 2012. There is now only one through bus a week to Dublin – route 132 departing Rosslare Europort at 08.15 on Thursdays. It runs cross-country via Carnew.[3] There are two bus stops in the village, one on either side of the road, at St. Patrick's Church (for Wexford direction) and just up from the shopping centre (for ferry terminal). There is also a stop in front of the ferry terminal where all buses commence/terminate. See also
