Tram failure causes Luas delays in city centre

Dublin Bus are accepting valid tickets.

DUE TO A tram failure in the city centre at Heuston, the Luas Red Line services are currently running between Saggart/Tallaght and Blackhorse only.

Operators of the Luas, Transdev, said that the failure of the tram is due to technical error.

The tram failed at Stephen’s Lane lane just after the Heuston stop. 

There is no Luas service between Blackhorse and The Point, but Dublin Bus are accepting all valid Luas tickets for the duration of this disruption. 

Attempts to tow the failed tram back to the depot are proving difficult with the second attempt failing this afternoon.

The Luas Red Line is operating normally.

They said they would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused to customers.

The Luas is celebrating its tenth birthday today.

    Becky, you got 2 thumbs down for that. The only explanation is either the culprits who did it are reading the journal or else we have 2 complete and utter gobsh1tes here.

    James, I think it is highly likely that they are reading the journal.

    James oh my your right but I would say heartless people how would they like to be stabbed or one of there family. What’s the world coming to? When you can’t even comment on a man being stabbed and wishing him well :-(.

    What a horrible experience for this man, to receive several cuts, which put him in a serious condition, hopefully

    he will make a speedy recovery…..

    The sooner the culprits are caught the better, and are dealt with by the full force of the Law, they are Cowards and nothing else..

    Hope he’s having a big mug of tea and an Easter egg in his hospital bed.
