One route is the Dublin-Cork main line, while the other is the line from Limerick to. Trains from all four locations are served, some connecting to in County Clare and in County Kerry.The layout consists of four platforms, but only two are in use, both north of the station building. The main line platform, number 1, is a through platform. The terminal platform, to the west of Platform 1, is numbered 2 for part of its length and 3 for the rest, to distinguish between the two trains that may be there in the event of a Waterford train and a Limerick train being present at once. Access to Platforms 2 and 3 for trains from anywhere other than Limerick requires reversing. A train coming from Waterford must cross the Dublin-Cork main line towards Limerick, reversing along the curve used by trains arriving from Limerick. It can then stop at the Limerick bay. The cumbersome procedure of trains to Waterford passing the station before reversing into Platform 4 was ended in 2007 and trains to Waterford as well as trains to Limerick now depart from Platforms 2 and 3. Other places in the Ireland that required some or all trains to reverse include:
