The Luas Green Line is back operating as normal after a large section was closed since Friday night.

There were no services between Balally and Bridesglen and only limited services between Broombridge and Balally after a power fault on Friday.

Crews have since located and fixed the issue.

All services are no operating as normal.

Green line: An alternative coach service is serving all stops between Balally - Brides Glen while maintenance teams are hard at work to repair the fault in Stillorgan to ensure services run as normal in the area tomorrow.

Fine Gael Senator Neale Richmond said operator Transdev must explain why both lines suffered stoppages and delays over the Christmas period.

“Over just two days of the busy Christmas period when services are already reduced to Saturday schedules, it is highly disappointing to see the service repeatedly interrupted on both the red and green lines,” he said.

“The series of delays and stoppages that have bedevilled the service need to be explained by LUAS operator Transdev as a matter of urgency.”
