IRISH RAIL IS to lodge an application to An Bord Pleanála for a major upgrade of the Cork rail network.

Irish Rail has said the upgrading of the line from the existing single track to new twin track railway, along with the completion of the new Kent Station through platform and the proposed signalling and communications upgrades will facilitate, with future fleet orders, the potential tripling of service frequency to a 10-minute service frequency each way compared to the current 30-minute service.

The Railway Order application will be lodged with An Bord Pleanála on Thursday, 10 November. An eight-week statutory public consultation period will follow, beginning on 17 November and concluding on 12 January. Irish Rail said it is anticipated that when the consultation period closes, An Bord Pleanála will grant an oral hearing where members of the public and impacted parties can attend, make observations and ask questions of the project team.
