THERE ARE NO Luas trams running between Balally and Brides Glen due to a power failure at Stillorgan.
Green Line services are operating between Broombridge and Balally only, after operating a limited service earlier.
Transdev advised people to keep an eye on the Luas site to see when the service would return. The service will not resume from Balally to Brides Glen until tomorrow.
Luas tickets will be accepted on Dublin Bus services. Luas will also have an alternative bus serving affected stops between Brides Glen and Sandyford.
“Luas would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused to you,” Transdev said.

Is there any day goes by without an incident with the luas? Just like everything else in this country nothing works properly!!
@Craig Clancy: can hardly blame luas for a power outage
@Jonny Chip: It’s a power failure on the LUAS system.
Went down to get the Luas, replacement bus service in operation by Finnegans but no bus stops and they dont stop for you. Typical Luas service Transdev should be fined it seems to happen way too often for it to be a coincidence.
This seems to be quite common. It suggests that the design of the system is not that resilient and there does not appear to be redundancy built in. An entire mass transit system brought down by a power failure at one point and significant delays in getting the service back up and running. This has happened again and again. There needs to be more information provided to the public so that we can understand why this is happening and what is being done to mitigate future occurrences.
Scrap the LUAS and bring back the 48a
That’s great news… lol
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
have your say
