Dublin Ireland LUAS Tram/Light Rail
This film shows the fairly new tram network of Dublin, Ireland, which opened in 2004. The tram is promoted under the name of LUAS which stands for “speed” in Irish. As of today it consists of two lines, red and green, which have a combined length of 36.5km. Currently these two lines are disconnected, however, there are already plans on the way to connect them via a cross city section.
I found the tracks are very nicely integrated into the very beautiful city of Dublin. Also the French Citadis 301 and 402 vehicles looked nice, the service is frequent, and it seems to be well adopted and heavily used by the population. However, I found that the ride on these vehicles felt a bit rough.
The film begins at the northern terminus of the green line, which is at St. Stephen's Green, a park in the heart of the city. We go a bit southward until we reach Harcourt stations, before we turn our attention to the red line. We see some scenes going from the busy shopping district at O'Connell Street toward Connolly Station, one of two major railway stations in Dublin. From here on, the red line serves the docklands, which host the financial district of Dublin. The remainder of the film then shows the stretch from Heuston Station (the other railway station) to Four Courts with some beautiful shots around the national museum of Ireland.
Enjoy!

LUAS Dublin Tram. Full Journey on LUAS Green Line from Broombridge to Bride's Glen.
So this is a long video. I got up early on a Saturday morning to be able to travel the full length of the green line because after a certain time in the morning the trams from Broombridge only go to Sandyford. It took me from 08:30 in the morning from when I left Broombridge to 11:30 when I got back to Broombridge so it took me 3 hours! Sit back, relax and enjoy.

Oh, and in case you want to sing along ... here are the lyrics!!!
A lovers' Leap for Vicki Pipe and Geoff Marshall
Another tram song will be contro-varshall
Across the Liffey in a jiffy, it's a nice jaunt
The rhymes are iffy but let's get to the Point
Let’s go from Cheeveston to Red Cow and Heuston
There’s thirty stations on the Red Line to choose from
Let’s go to Leopardstown and Brides Glen if there’s time
To Windy Arbor, Cherrywood, on the Green Line
Let’s stop at Trinity to read the Book of Kells
Toast a Jameson whisky in Smithfield as well
Let’s take a selfie on the Ha’penny bridge near Jervis
Luas means speed; it's an exceptional service
Let's go from Connolly to Saggart or Rialto
It's the Luas way to go
And it’s fun, fun, fun
On the Dublin tram, tram, tram
And they've gone, gone, gone
On the Dublin tram, tram, tram
Let’s go from Dundrum-rum-rum
To Grangegorman-man-man
And it’s fun, fun, fun
On the Dublin tram, tram, tram
It's the Luas...

LUAS Dublin Tram. Full Ride on the LUAS Green Line from Brides Glen to O'Connell GPO.
So I know this video might not be as good as the other ones that I do. The reason I had no drivers eye view was because the grumpy driver didn't want me to film through the cab door. The reason was that he broke the speed limit 5 times!! Sit back, relax and enjoy.

Luas Green Line Trams are getting bigger!
You told us peak-time trams were busy, we listened and we are working to improve the service we provide. 26 Luas Green Line trams are getting bigger. Luas ordered 52 new tram sections to extend 26 trams. Each of the 26 trams is being extended by 11.1m with these 2 new sections. This extra space will allow each extended tram to carry 30% more people. Shane Ross, Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport launched the first extended tram on Mon 14th Oct at Sandyford Depot. This first extended tram is is carrying passengers now on the Green Line now and 25 more will be extended by the end of 2020.
