Rail services to Cork city to be shut over jazz festival weekend

Railway works will impact services on the main Cork to Mallow line and on the Cork to Cobh and Midleton lines from this weekend until October 26.

Iarnrod Eireann has apologised in advance for shutting down the last section of the main rail line into Cork city over the jazz bank holiday weekend for a €12m signalling upgrade and track works.

It said the dates of works include the bank holiday weekend and the October mid-term break which traditionally sees lower numbers of daily commuters travelling.
