History

The original station in Carrigtwohill was opened on 2 November 1859, but closed for goods traffic on 2 December 1974 and fully closed on 6 September 1976. It was re-opened on 30 July 2009 as part of the newly refurbished Cork-Midleton line.

Developments

The 2002 Cork Suburban Rail Feasibility Study proposed the construction of a new station approximately west of the existing station. 'Carrigtwohill West' station was proposed to serve an industrial area west of Carrigtwohill, with IDA Ireland providing partial funding. The project was cancelled in 2012.
