A new €10m revamp to Cork city’s railway station is to open to tomorrow providing passenger access to the quays for the first time, writes Eoin English. The Kent station development, which has been in the pipeline for over a decade and in construction for almost two years, will also cut rail passenger journey times to the city centre. The station’s existing Lower Glanmire Road entrance, car park, set-down area and taxi rank will continue to operate. However, the concourse will give rail passengers the option, for the first time since the station was built in 1893, to enter or exit the station via Horgan’s Quay. A new road which has been built to link Ship Street to Horgan’s Quay will be accessible by bus only.
