Cork rail commuters complain of being 'packed in' on Cork-Midleton trains due to lack of carriages

There is often standing room only, with just two carriages at peak times, and no space for bicycles or e-scooters for workers who need them to access outlying parts of the city, councillors told

Fianna Fáil councillor Patrick Mulcahy said in recent weeks he had been 'inundated' with complaints from people using the Cork-Midleton service.

Just two carriages are regularly being put on the Cork-Midleton railway at peak times, with commuters struggling to get on board, it has been claimed.

There is often standing room only and no space for bicycles or e-scooters for workers who need them to access outlying parts of the industrial hub in Little Island or go from Kent Station in the city to Munster Technological University.
