  7. 🇮🇪🚉 Iarnród Éireann has lodged a planning application for a new railway station at Dunkettle, the second of two early station projects under the #Cork Area Commuter Rail Programme following #Blackpool. The station, beside the Dunkettle Interchange, will serve Cork-Cobh and Cork-Midleton services, include a 300-space park-and-ride and be fully accessible. It is designed to improve access to rail, reduce road congestion and support future service increases, with trains expected to run every five minutes in each direction once the wider programme is complete. Construction is expected to begin in 2027, subject to planning approval and funding. The wider programme includes electrification, six more stations and a new depot, with a #Railway Order application due later this year. Phase 1 works, including Platform 6 at #Kent Station, signalling upgrades and twin-tracking to Midleton, are already under way.
