Dublin tram line Green: Broombridge - Brides Glen

Dublin Ireland LUAS Tram/Light Rail (2014)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!
