SERVICE ON THE Luas Red Line was interrupted this afternoon after a car ended up on the tracks near the stop at Saggart.
It happened shortly after 3.30pm between the Belgard and Saggart stops in west Dublin.
The transport service was quick to point out on Twitter that they weren’t to blame for the incident:
And the issue was sorted out quickly enough:
According to a witness the car was driven onto the tracks, and proceeded some distance down the route along the ‘embedded section’ where the rail is flush with the road surface.
The car then became stuck when it hit the ‘heavy rail’ section of the tracks.
A tow-truck was dispatched to the scene, and the vehicle removed.
