Luas / TwitterUnfortunately due to earlier medical emergency a number of GreenLine #Luas trams have needed to be rerouted and the destination changed. Please accept our apologies for this and for any and all inconvenience this has caused you this morning. NF

LUAS SERVICES ARE being affected in both directions on the Green Line due to an earlier incident in which a passenger took ill on a tram heading to the city centre.
The passenger became sick on the northbound tram at the Milltown stop near Clonskeagh with Luas saying that a medical emergency had caused a 20 minute delay.
Services were affected in both directions following the delay but Luas has now said that this caused services to be rerouted and their destinations changed.
“Please accept our apologies for this and for any and all inconvenience this has caused you this morning,” Luas said in a tweet this morning.

Rerouted?
@Henri Poincaré: Buses I imagine.
@Henri Poincaré: some were stopping at stephens green and going back southbound
Lucky it was the Green line, on the Red line the poor individual would have been relieved of his mobile, wallet and anything else of value.
Hope the passenger makes a recovery
Trams can’t be rerouted. They’re on tracks.
@Paddy Reid: in Rotterdam they have a backup network of track going up parallel streets for any bottlenecks on the primary routes, … maybe in Ireland in another 50yrs
@Paddy Reid: I’m pretty sure the Luas that was going to Broombridge was rerouted to Parnell and back across the river instead.
@Mark Whirdy: if they had any sense they would run both directions on Marlboro ST. and use the O’Connell St. line as an emergency backup
Hope the passenger makes a speed recovery. I rather drive or cycle than get in the morning/ev
have your say
