Car parking doubles in Colbert Station
Limerick People

IN A welcome development for train travellers, Iarnrod Eireann announced that it has now doubled the capacity of the car park in Colbert Station in Limerick.

There are now 340 car parking spaces available, daily, for train travellers.

Highlighting the increase in car spaces, Jim Gallivan, business development manager for Iarnrod Eireann in Limerick, explained that "with the continuing popularity of train travel there were often times in the recent past when the car park at the station was full after the departure of the 9.25am train to Dublin”. And he said that this has led to some uncertainty about the availability of car parking spaces among train customers intending to travel on the late morning and afternoon trains from Limerick to Dublin.

"The increase in demand for train services in recent years, as the roads have struggled to cope with the increasing number of cars in the country, has led to a proportionate increase in the demand for car parking spaces at railway stations nation-wide. But people can now be assured that there will be sufficient spaces available throughout the day at Colbert Station,” he said.
