Phase one is already underway—with a new platform at Kent Station and double-tracking between Glounthaune and Midleton set for completion this year—and Phase two, featuring six more stations, electrification, and a new maintenance hub, is poised to launch after public feedback wrapped up in June. This isn’t just about more trains—it’s about transforming Cork’s transport landscape into a greener, smarter, and less congested system by 2040.
