It's single tracked, but with double track through Carrigtwohill station.

In theory that can support up to 4 trains per hour.

I am really looking forward to this train line opening. I want to take the kids on the train with their bikes to go for a cycle in the country, but will I be able to take bikes on this service at the weekends?

Sadly Irish Rail don't like bikes, we have met them together with representatives of cyclists lots of promises but little delivered

In theory some of the trains which will run the service will carry up to 2 bikes, but happily staff seem to look the other way most of the time

Anyone watching Primetime?

It looks (to my eye), that Irish Rail laid on a special Cork - Cobh train for Miriam O'Callaghan.

Only people allowed travel out to Midelton are IE staff, RSC and DoT inspectors, no media or politicians allowed. None travelled during the PR/Election stunt

I think Mark H was talking about Cobh not Midleton.
