LUAS RED LINE TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF SELECTED STOPS

Tallaght, Hospital, Cookstown, Belgard and Kingswood Luas stops will temporarily close on Sat 10th/ Sun11th/ Mon 12th April and Sat 17th/Sun 18th April.

This closure is to facilitate the construction of the Luas Citywest Red Line extension from Belgard to Saggart. Luas trams will operate normally between Red Cow and the city centre.

To facilitate passengers it is proposed to operate a bus service between Red Cow and Tallaght servicing the affected stops. Veolia staff will be at each platform to assist passengers and a valid Luas ticket is required to travel use this bus service.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Unless I misread that, is the Monday closure a weekday, the week after bank holiday Monday? Seems odd.

Yeah that seems a bit strange, especially with a lot of people taking a week or two off at Easter.
