Cork Area Commuter Rail Programme.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>The opening of the platform marks the completion of the first in a series of interrelated projects being delivered under the overall programme, potentially worth over €1 billion, and ultimately facilitating up to a 10-minute service frequency for the Cork rail network.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>The first phase of the Cork Area Commuter Rail Programme incorporates the new platform, together with the RRF-funded Glounthaune to Midleton twin-track and Cork area signalling and communications upgrade projects, which are both set for completion in 2026. This phase will deliver the network capacity to allow for significant increase in train service frequency on each of Cork's three commuter lines: to Cobh, Midleton and Mallow. These projects will ensure that Cork is equipped with the rail network to support the city and county's development, rail service expansion and new stations envisaged under the Cork Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (CMATS) and in the longer term, as part of Phase 2, the potential future electrification of the Cork commuter rail network.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>The new 220-metre-long platform, designed by AECOM and built by John Cradock Ltd, will support increased service frequency via the new platform 5b to the north side and platform 6 to the south side.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Services using the new platforms will be introduced on a phased basis. Initially, some Intercity and Midleton services will operate to and from the platform and some through services from Midleton to Mallow will be introduced over the coming months.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Once fully delivered, the Cork Area Commuter Rail Programme will support the following over the longer-term:\u003C/p>\n\u003Cul>\n  \u003Cli>A 'turn up and ride' service with up to a 10-minute frequency, delivering more capacity and a better customer experience for all rail users\u003C/li>\n  \u003Cli>A seamless, more efficient and integrated transport network for Cork, with a multi-modal transport hub at Kent Station to promote modal shift from the private car\u003C/li>\n  \u003Cli>A more connected, more sustainable and more accessible rail service for rail customers through new stations, electrification of the network and Park & Ride interchange points\u003C/li>\n  \u003Cli>Additional fleet and fleet maintenance depot to provide the rolling stock to meet existing and future passenger demand\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Taoiseach Micheál Martin said:\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\"\u003Cem>The opening of this new platform marks a significant milestone in the delivery of the largest ever investment in the Cork rail network.
