The station is owned and operated by Iarnród Éireann and is served primarily by the mainline from Dublin Connolly station, although there is also a single daily service each way to and from Limerick via Waterford. Trains are timetabled to meet the ferry services to and from Fishguard. There is a turntable located here, used by occasional preserved steam locomotives.

On Monday 14th April 2008 the old Rosslare Europort station closed, the last service train to depart being the 7:40 service to Dublin Connolly, worked by a six-piece 2800 class railcar set. The new station is located near the turntable, which has been retained, there is also a runround loop provided at the new station.
