The Cork Suburban Rail (Irish: Iarnród Fobhailteach Chorcaí) network serves areas of County Cork, Munster, Ireland.
There has been a suburban rail system in Cork since the middle of the 19th century however it suffered serious neglect and line closures in the 20th century. The city also had a tram network - a short-lived horse-tram service in the 1870s and an electric tram system between 1898 and 1931.
The present Cork Suburban Rail network operates on three lines. Additional stations are planned on these lines but at present funding has not been committed and planning permission has not been sought. There are currently 10 stations and 3 lines on the network.
Services run from Cork Kent to Mallow. As of 2009, additional stations were planned for Kilbarry, Monard, Blarney.
Commuter services using 2600 class railcars supplement stops at Mallow and Cork by 22000 class railcar operated services from Cork to Tralee and Mark 4 locomotive hauled coach services from Cork to Heuston Station, Dublin.
Services run from Cork Kent to Little Island, Glounthaune, Fota, Carrigaloe, Rushbrooke, Cobh.
