Station revamp plans back on track

CIÉ confirmed yesterday that its stalled multi-million-euro plans to regenerate and expand Cork’s dated Kent railway station are back on track.

CIÉ Group Property said it hopes to lodge a planning application for a new 3,000sq m, carbon-neutral transport hub facing the River Lee and complete with bus links with the city centre within months.

If cleared by planners, the new station will be almost the same size as Dublin’s Heuston Station.
