Glounthaune railway station (Irish:Gleanntán) is anIarnród Éireann station serving the town ofGlounthaune inCounty Cork, Ireland. The station is at is the junction betweenCobh andMidleton on theCork Commuter line,[1] around a kilometre east of Glounthaune town.

History

[edit]

The station opened on 10 November 1859 by the Cork, Youghal & Queenstown Railway,[2] with services initially only running onwards toYoughal. On 10 March 1862, passenger services began running toCobh from the junction as well. The line onward toMidleton andYoughal closed to passenger services in 1963[3] before re-opening again in August 2009 as far as Midleton[4] The station was originally named "Queenstown Junction" and was renamed first "Cobh Junction" in 1928, and finally "Glounthaune" in 1994;[5] tickets issued from Iarnród Éireann portable ticket machines still print the station name as "Cobh Jct".

Services

[edit]

The station is unstaffed, with two ticket machines near the entrance in the carpark and twoleap card validators (one at the entrance and the other on the platform). There are two platforms serving the double track. Platform 1 is on the near side and is fully wheelchair accessible with eastbound trains fromCork to Cobh and Midleton. There is a footbridge to bring passengers from platform 1 to platform 2 meaning there is no wheelchair access to platform 2 and the westbound trains running toLittle Island and Cork city. As of 2020,Cork County Council published plans to add more parking spaces (48 as of January 2020) and to improve accessibility to bicycles and improve onward bus connections in the 2020s.[6]

With around 40 trains per day in each direction, this is a frequent commuter station with four trains per hour running into Cork city at peak time on weekdays and twice per hour (1 from Cobh and 1 from Midleton) off peak. Travel time toCork:11 minutes,Midleton:13 minutes andCobh:14 minutes.[7] The station is usually served byIE 2600 Class diesel trains in 2 or 4 carriage setups.[citation needed]

Under the Cork metropolitan area transport strategy, published in 2019, it was planned to increase services to the station and potentially electrify the line by approximately 2040.[8]
