THE DISRUPTION THAT occurred on the Luas Red Line in Dublin city centre earlier has now passed.
Services on the line have now been restored fully and are operating as normal.
Earlier a collision between two buses outside Busaras bus terminal in central Dublin meant that the tram line was only operating between Saggart/Tallaght and Abbey Street in the city centre.
Gardaí have confirmed that they are on the scene of the collision.
There are no reports of any injuries at this time.
Photocall Ireland’s Sam Boal took these pictures on the scene earlier today:

Thats a 12reg bus too. probably only on the road a few weeks
Only on the road a few weeks? Is it still January?!
Those buses were only launched by BE recently.
From googling up until the end of July there have been 28k registrations in dublin, as the bus has a reg of 20,000 its not rocket science to guess that the bus has not been on the road since january
Hope no one was hurt.
Is it too soon to make a joke about the “more direct” written on one of the busses?
I was thinking the same!
And as no-one was hurt we can be. Tiny bit jovial.and Again thankfully no reports of any injury
And I was just thinking of the “Direct” too
Another LUAS crash? Seems like a lot of bus/car drivers need to redo their driving test.
It wasn’t a luas crash. One bus hit another and the luas couldn’t run past.
I was chatting with one of the drivers on the belfast route a couple of months ago and he told me the lads were all brought into the yard to drive the new buses around a few cones to get used to them. He said it was a joke and there wasn’t a cone standing by the end of the session. These buses are longer, taller and heavier than the previous and the drivers have had no proper adjustment training.
just as well there wasnt a live body sandwiched between them thats all i say!
have your say
