LUAS GREEN LINE services have resumed normal operation after stoppages over the weekend.
Due to a power failure at Stillorgan on Saturday morning there were no trams running between Balally and Brides Glen yesterday.
Luas operator Transdev advised people to keep an eye on the Luas site to see when the service would return. It confirmed this morning that both Green Line and Red Line services were operating as normal.
Following the disruption, Fine Gael Senator Neale Richmond has called on Transdev to “explain the spate of stoppages and delays” over the Christmas period.
Said Richmond: “Over just two days of the busy Christmas period when services are already reduced to Saturday schedules, it is highly disappointing to see the service repeatedly interrupted on both the Red and Green lines,” said Richmond.
“Yesterday’s power outage on the green line impacted majorly on many locals taking advantage of the post Christmas sales for shopping in town and Dundrum, to attend the races in Leopardstown as well as so much more on a busy day for many commuters, workers and tourists,” he said.
“The series of delays and stoppages that have bedevilled the service need to be explained by LUAS operator Transdev as a matter of urgency.”

What a horrible human being to take advantage of a man in his 90s who had given so much joy to the world hope he gets sent away for a long time.
@Jake Kelly: well he must be guilty because you believe it’s true so no need for a trail just “send him away for a long time”…
@Jake Kelly: allegedly!!!!!!!!
@Craig Clancy: ok IF true then send away for a long time but considering stories like this were coming out before his death I feel like it’s more likely this is legit but if you wanna be pedantic about these things there’s a chance the guy is innocent
@Mairtin Antaine O Conaill: allegedly aka the word you can use to get away with saying anything
Sounds like family who didn’t have the will to take care of a man in his 90’s but has the “will” to take care of him now that he’s dead. Sad
@Noel Falkhall: again accusations of elder abuse towards Stan Lee were being reported on while he was still alive and some of the accusations were against Lee’s own daughter so there’s a lot more to this story than the usually “let’s call it BS because the victim is dead and we’re cynical about everything” mentality
Should have gone out like Hugh Hefner .
What, sepsis brought on by an E. coli infection?
