€10m revamp for Cork's Kent station unveiled

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.

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 development features a new underground pedestrian access route from Horgan’s Quay, a new concourse, improved car parking facilities and a new internal access road to a public transport hub from where bus services will operate directly to the city centre via the quays.
