Dublin: Delays on Luas green line due to tram failure

A tram failure at the Balally stop has led to the suspension of part of the Luas green line.

THE LUAS GREEN line is experiencing delays due to a tram failure.

The Luas Green Line is only operating between the St Stephen’s Green and Beechwood stops and between Kilmacud and Brides Glen, according to the official Luas website.

It says that this is due to a tram failure at Balally Stop, and that the company’s maintenance team is working on the matter.

Luas tickets are valid on Dublin Bus and the Luas Red Line is operating normally.

    waste in this country is a disaster.

    DCC made a hames of privatisation and this coupled with the populist parties campaigning against charges or pay by weight have pushed us towards this crappy cartel.

    this wasn’t helped by the fact that he government seem incapable of launching new policies or services without some major balls up.

    granted, the government made a p

    It is time to renationalise waste collection services.

    These companies are criminal thieving gangsters.

    It’s a pity that the private companies were allowed to take over for profit from the public service who were doing a great job on waste disposal. It’s a shame this story did not get the same attention as the water protest
