Cork commuter rail services in east Cork are set to expand from next weekend. 

Iarnród Éireann is advising engers that a new timetable comes into effect tomorrow which will see additional weekend trains on the Cork commuter network. 

The new timetable includes 10 new Saturday services in each direction on Cork/Cobh Commuter, delivering a clockface half-hourly service on Saturdays.

Four new Sunday services in each direction on Cork/Cobh Commuter and six new Sunday services in each direction on Cork/Midleton Commuter, will also operate, delivering a clockface hourly all-day service on both routes on Sundays.

Changes to a number of intercity and other commuter services have also been made. 

The timetable was confirmed following public consultation in May / June, in conjunction with the National Transport Authority, in which 1,930 customers participated.

The rail company is advising customers on all routes to check times before travel.

“We are delighted to once again expand our timetable, and to deliver more capacity, with the highest ever number of rail engers forecast for this year. Whether new services are being introduced on your route or not, we would remind customers on all routes to check times before travel: even small changes may affect your journey, which is particularly important for daily commuters," a spokesperson said.
