The station opened on 2 February 1893[2] and the current building was built in the same year. The station replaced two earlier stations that served as separate termini for the Great Southern and Western Railway (GS&WR) and Cork & Youghal Railway (C&Y). The original GS&WR station for the Glanmire line was located directly in front of the portal of the tunnel through which the railway into Cork passed, while the original C&Y terminus was above the tunnel portal. The purpose of the new station was to allow through running of trains after the 1865 takeover of the C&Y by the GS&WR. The station is the only one of the six Cork railway stations that still exists today. Source- Wikipedia. Fore more informatiom (
