Commuters are being advised that there will be no services operating between Kent Station and Mallow Station this weekend in order to facilitate essential works. 

Iarnród Éireann says that along with ongoing works on a new through platform at Kent Station, new signalling across the full Cork Commuter network and the twin-tracking of the Glounthaune to Midleton line, these essential works "will ultimately help to facilitate the proposed capacity and service frequency increases, with the potential to treble existing service frequency to a 10-minute frequency on all Cork commuter routes in the future".

It is advising that there will be no services operating between Kent Station and Mallow Station on Saturday and Sunday, October 19 and 20 while these essential maintenance works are carried out.

Replacement bus services will run between Kent Station and Mallow Station on these days and will accept valid rail tickets.

"Iarnród Éireann apologises for any inconvenience these essential works may cause," a spokesperson said.
