Glounthaune to Midleton Twin Track Project

Iarnród Éireann plans to upgrade the existing rail line between Glounthaune and Midleton to enhance commuter services into and out of Cork city. The Glounthaune to Midleton Twin Track project covers the area of the network from Cobh Junction to Midleton Station, a total distance of approximately 10km, and will see the upgrading of the existing line to twin track over its entire length.

The Twin Tracking of the Glounthaune to Midleton railway will be part of the first packages of work undertaken by the National Transport Authority (NTA) and Iarnród Éireann to deliver the commuter rail vision as set out in the Cork Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (CMATS) 2040.

The project will help facilitate an ultimate tripling of service frequency along the line. Along with the completion of the new Kent Station Through Platform, the Proposed Signalling and Communications upgrades and the delivery of a new fleet, Twin Tracking between Glounthaune to Midleton will facilitate a tripling of service frequency along the line while also ensuring a more reliable service for commuters and other rail users to and from the city.

What are the benefits for rail users?

This project will see a second rail track installed along the existing Glounthaune to Midleton line. The delivery of this project along with the completion of the new Kent Station Through Platform, the Proposed Signalling and Communications upgrades and the delivery of a new fleet will facilitate:

  • Operation of a higher frequency service up to a 10-minute service from the current 30-minute service
  • Increased capacity, better connectivity, and enhanced reliability of the suburban rail network
  • Shorter wait times

What works are required?

The main element of the Glounthaune to Midleton Twin Track project consists of the provision of a second track over the full extent of the line. These works will largely be contained within the existing railway corridor and will include the following:

  • Addition of 2nd track over the full extent of the line;
  • Addition of sidings/turn back facilities at Midleton;
  • Modification/replacement of bridges and level crossings to facilitate the twin tracking
  • Associated signalling upgrades and alterations;
  • All associated civil works (retaining walls, boundary treatments, etc.).

All works completed as part of the project will be compatible with future electrification of the Cork Area Commuter Rail network.

While there will be some disruption to services during construction of the new track, this will be kept to a minimum.

Next Steps

Dheonaigh an Bord Pleanála iarratas ar Ordú Iarnróid i mí na Samhna 2023 chun an dara rian iarnróid molta a thógáil feadh na líne iarnróid 10km idir Gleanntán agus Mainistir na Corann. BAM were the successful tenderer awarded the contract for the civil works, with a construction start planned for Autumn 2024. This will enable twin-tracking to be completed by late 2026.

Project Funding

The project is funded by the European Union Recovery and Resilience Facility, under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.

The National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) has been developed by the Government so that Ireland can access funding under the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility. Ireland is expected to receive €988 million in grants under the Facility.

The Recovery and Resilience Facility is the largest component of NextGenerationEU, the European Union’s response to the global pandemic. The aim is to help repair the immediate economic and social damage brought about by the pandemic and to prepare for a post-Covid Europe that is greener, more digital, more resilient and fit to face the future.
