Before the loop was constructed, freight and timber liner trains would have to turn around at Kilkenny railway station to continue on to their destination in Sallypark, near Waterford railway station. Non-passenger trains such as the "DFDS Freight Train" from Ballina–Waterford avoid Kilkenny by using the "Lavistown Loop Line" which joins both lines going to Kilkenny. The loop has allowed Irish Rail to run a daily morning limited stop service between Waterford and Heuston departing Waterford at 07.10 and arriving Heuston at 09.01.[1][2] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.irrs.ie/Journal%20171/171%20Operations.htm|title=Irish Railway Record Society|publisher=|accessdate=20 December 2017}} {{Europe-rail-transport-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.hidden-dublin.com/images/rail/rail006.html|title=Irish Rail GM 071 class no. 083 at Lavistown Junction|website=www.hidden-dublin.com|accessdate=20 December 2017}} 3 : Iarnród Éireann|Railway lines opened in 1994|Transport in County Kilkenny |
