Irish Rail expects to start work later this year on the planned EUR 3 million upgrade of Kent railway station in Cork with the aim of making the station more accessible for both commuters and mainline service users.
According to Barry Kenny, corporate communications manager of Irish Rail, the plan to reorient the station by creating a new entrance off Horgan’s Quay will improve connectivity with the city centre for pedestrians as well as for bus, taxi and bike users.
Kenny said creating a new entrance on Horgan’s Quay would enable train users to get to and from the bus station on Parnell Place on foot in less than five minutes as opposed to the 10 minutes plus it currently takes using the exit on Lower Glanmire Road.
