GORT SECTION OF WESTERN RAIL CORRIDOR TO PROGRESS

Date Published: 08-Jan-2009

An appeal which threatened the Gort stop off on the Western Rail Corridor has been withdrawn.

In a statement to Galway Bay fm News, it’s been confirmed that Coen Holdings Limited and Iarnrod Eireann have “reached agreement on the matter”.

The Belfast owned company, based in Gort, appealed the decision by County Planners to allow Iarnród Eireann develop the station as part of the re-opening of the Limerick to Galway railway line.

The planned works include two new 90 metre platforms, an 80 bay car park, pedestrian bridge and access roads.
