1. Check the Waterford Airport Facebook page there is a post on the 24th of Sep 2013 saying how many of the Birmingham passengers are taking the train to London.
2. When I travel on the route many passengers say there are travelling onward to London as regards when I travel to Manchester the plane had 92,90,87,82% load factors respectively and I plane spot regularly at Waterford.
3. When the airport staff talk on the local radio they always mention that until a London route is re-established there is a great rail connection to London from Birmingham international which many passengers take.
