Sunday morning would be very quiet, so you could probably almost have the tram to yourself, and if your takes weren't too long, you could probably almost shoot a scene between stops. Budget: one Luas day pass for each member of cast and crew.

I don't know if permission is needed to film on Luas.

If you need a tram that's guaranteed free of other people, you'll probably have to do it in the depot. I imagine if you write to the RPA (www.rpa.ie for the address) and ask them nicely they should be reasonably accommodating if your demands aren't excessive. If you just want an out of service tram to yourselves for an hour or two, that shouldn't be too much of a problem, but if you want it moving, things could get more difficult (and expensive).
