The Waterford & Suir Valley Railway (WSVR) is a registered charity operating on a 3 ft (914 mm) gauge railway track from Kilmeadan back towards Bilberry outside Waterford, Ireland.The line shares much of its route along the banks of River Suir with the Waterford Greenway. This walking any cycle path passes through the station which has car parking and a coffee shop for visitors.
Apart from the station platforms, there are two other halts, built in 2017, at Mount Congreve and Bilberry on the outskirts of Waterford. The railway currently only uses diesel locomotives though efforts are underway to restore a steam locomotive to full operating capacity to run on the line. In addition to regular scheduled services, the railway also operates a popular 'Santa Express' service. The carriages are wheelchair accessible.[1]
