Editing Cobh (section)

==Transport==

===Rail===
Outside of the Dublin metropolitan area, Cobh is one of the few towns in Ireland served by a [[commuter train]] service. The town is one of two termini for [[Cork Suburban Rail|Cork Commuter Services]]. The other is [[Midleton railway station|Midleton]].  Regular commuter services run between Cork city and [[Cobh railway station|Cobh]], calling at, among others, [[Fota railway station]], [[Carrigaloe railway station]], and [[Rushbrooke railway station]], along the way. Trains run every day and the journey time to Cork is under 25 minutes.

[[Cobh railway station]] opened, as Queenstown station, on 10 March 1862 and was renamed {{circa|1925}}.<ref>{{cite book| first=R.V.J.| last=Butt| title=The Directory of Railway Stations| publisher=Patrick Stephens Ltd| year=1995| isbn=1-85260-508-1|pages =64,193}}</ref>

===Air===
The nearest airport is [[Cork Airport]], which can be reached in 20–30 minutes from Cobh via the [[R624 road (Ireland)|R624 road]] and the [[N25 road]].

===Port===
The Port Operations Centre for Cork Harbour is located in the town. The port's [[harbour pilot]] launches are based at the Camber - a pier and dock area at the eastern end of the town.

===Roads===
Currently there is only a single road (the R624) and road bridge that leads onto Great Island. This road bridge, Belvelly Bridge, was built at [[Belvelly]] in 1803 at one of the narrowest points in the channels around Great Island.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&county=CO&regno=20907578 | publisher = National Inventory of Architectural Heritage | access-date = 2 August 2018 | title = Belvelly Bridge, County Cork | website = buildingsofireland.ie | archive-date = 2 August 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180802223541/http://www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&county=CO&regno=20907578 | url-status = live }}</ref><ref name="ophelia">{{cite web | url = https://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/calls-for-island-designation-campaign-for-cobh-after-ophelia-461083.html | publisher = Irish Examiner | website = irishexaminer.com | title = Calls for 'island designation' campaign for Cobh after Ophelia | date = 18 October 2017 | access-date = 2 August 2018 | quote = ''the only bridge leading into Great Island, at Belvelly [Bridge], is 200 years old'' | archive-date = 2 August 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180802193249/https://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/calls-for-island-designation-campaign-for-cobh-after-ophelia-461083.html | url-status = live }}</ref>

===Cross River Ferry===
In 1993 a Cross River Ferry was established which allowed cars and passengers to travel from Glenbrook near [[Monkstown, County Cork|Monkstown]] to Carrigaloe on the Great Island.  The crossing from Glenbrook to Carrigaloe takes four minutes and runs daily. Reservations are not required.<ref>{{cite web|title=Passage West and Monkstown Cross River Ferry |url=http://www.passagewestmonkstown.ie/cross-river-ferry.asp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140328203817/http://www.passagewestmonkstown.ie/cross-river-ferry.asp |archive-date=2014-03-28 }}</ref>
