Transport

Ballycullane Railway Station opened on 1 August 1906.[3] In its final years the rail service consisted of a solitary train in each direction between Rosslare Europort and Waterford. The rail service ceased after the passage of the evening train on Saturday 18 September 2010.[4] Bus Éireann route 373 serves Ballycullane on Tuesdays only.[5]
