THE GREEN LINE Luas is currently not operating between Brides Glen and Carrickmines.
This is due to power lines being down at the Laughanstown Stop.
According to a statement from Luas, maintenance are on site and working to restore power.
For now, the green line is only operating between Carrickmines and St Stephen’s Green.

It comes as there is no Dublin Bus services operating in the capital today or tomorrow as the drivers take industrial action over pay.
Traffic in the capital is expected to be extremely heavy on commuter routes during peak hours.
The red Luas line is operating as normal.

Between this and the bus strike you would think it was all planned. Good luck folks !
Sure hop on the Dart lads. There’s room in that little corner over there between that man’s armpit and that other fella’s backpack but you’ll have to stand on one foot and pray nobody farts.
It’s okay, there’s extra standing room now because they’ve removed all the seats.
It never rains it pours.
Does this mean we get to go back to bed?
I haven’t got out of it yet.
solidarity with the workers haha. putting this in for wally. hes havin a lie in
Another day another reason to be glad I don’t live or work in Dublin! Solidarity with all those trying to get around or to work this morning, though. This dispute looks like it could be around for a while
Well yous can always use the 13 billion of Apple in a proper subway metro in Dublin!!!!!!
We hardly need a subway now.
No we need one in 10 years based on population projections and it takes 5 to build so it’s so it’s smart to build it now
There’s a real problem in the world: lack of vision!! Only a few can see it.
If only. Imagine being able to get out of the rain onto regularly running subway trains. Some hope.
people moan about not being able to get to work when they can cycle, walk or run. same people probably watching operation transformation last night while stuffing their faces on the couch! #lazygits
Motorcycle…. The answer to the gridlock problem. Same pulling power as a car, same footprint as a bicycle. Free parking.
Thay’s all very well and good Zillas, but have you ever tried to run or cycle from Athy to the city centre?
long distances for some but lot of people in suburbs not far out from the city could easily walk or cycle. how many people bought bikes on cycle to work scheme that end up as a clothes horse or on donedeal months later? meanwhile the nation is getting fatter and fatter! The big answer is I regularly cycle 40km round trip to work and run 4 times a week for exercise.
no that’s too far! you’re exempt.
Do you expect me to walk from Greystones to Clarehall?
cycle !
If you are within the Dublin bus zone, you are within cycling distance of any part of the city!
While I fully support other options than cars many commuters travel way to far for any other option than a car. There certainly are lots of people who could walk or cycle but won’t. Partly down to the expensive of just owning a car makes them want to use it. If they bring in a pay by use insurance and tax it would make a difference. The technology exists
@Matt Connolly:
Free parking? Since when? As far as I know a motorcyclist may only legally park in the handful of designated cycle/motorcycle places in the city. That was the way it was years ago when I was a motorcyclist. I do agree however that I have only seen a ticket on one motorcycle ever as wardens ignore them and the clampers don’t have clamps suitable for a motorcycle.
Blessington to Portmarnock? Stupid comment!
@Methinks
50km. 2 to 2.5 hours. Wouldn’t do it everyday but any passing fit individual could do it. They just need to get off their a**
There’s no legislation that allows a motorbike get clamped.
Bus drivers will be delighted!
Well that sucks.
Dublin’s in a jocker
Like any other day so
Is the luas operating on the ballyogan line today
have your say
