Luas reopens after power failure, delays expected

Dublin’s Luas tram system has reopened after it was shut down as a result of power-supply issues earlier on Wednesday.

The Luas green line was only operating from Brides Glen to St Stephen's Green because of a power failure, and there was no service from Broombridge to St. Stephen's Green.

When the network was down the Red Line services were only operating from Tallaght/Saggart to Smithfield, with no trams running into the city centre.

Commuters have been warned to expect delays as it will take some time before the systems get fully back on track.

The operators of the service, Transdev, have apologised for any inconvenience caused.

This comes following the recent closure of the Red Line between Connolly and The Point following a major fire in Dublin’s docklands.
