Free rail parking on month’s trial

IARNRÓD ÉIREANN is to scrap its parking charges on the Cork-Midleton line for the month of December — and may remove them altogether.

The company introduced a daily €2 parking charges at stations at Little Island, Glounthaune, Carrigtwohill and Midleton last summer.

But angry commuters boycotted the car parks, instead leaving their vehicles outside on the public road.
