Midas Project
 


Public transport serving East Cork is about to receive a major boost through the re-opening of the Cork-Midleton Rail Line (see map) planned for 2008 and similar service improvements on the Cork - Cobh Rail Line (see map). New commuter services will link Cork, Carrigtwohill and Midleton and a new park-and-ride station is planned for Dunkettle.

Cork County Council plan to introduce a range of measures to help everyone make the best use of the new trains. For example, these
measures might include new car parks, pedestrian and cycle facilities, better bus connections, improved information on bus and train services, competitive and convenient fare and ticketing arrangements and improved links from Kent Station to the city centre and beyond.

FOR THIS TO BE SUCCESSFUL YOUR INPUT IS VITAL!
The first step is to undertake a detailed study of the travel patterns of the people within this area. For the week beginning 16th October 2006 Cork County Council are asking all daily commuters within this area to fill out a travel diary for 1 week and submit this form by one of 2 means.

GET INVOLVED??
Step 1 The first step is to register your intention to take part in the study. This is done by completing the registration form by 29th September 2006.
 
Step 2
will involve us sending the travel diary to you, either by email or post.
 
Step 3
is where you take over and fill out your week long travel diary for the week beginning 16th October 2006. As our "Thank You" to you for completing the diary, you will automatically be entered into a draw for a great prize (more details).
