i caught a city-bound tram at milltown yesterday evening. maybe i had just missed an announcement but there was none made on the tram. at cowper i was standing beside the open door and heard the station announcement about it terminating at beechwood. anyone further from the door couldn't hear that as evidenced by the surprise when we pulled in to Beechwood to hear "Beechwood, last stop". that was at 18:30 and there were some Veoilia staff there directing people to ranelagh. knowing how crap the no.11 bus there is I took my chances with rathmines. of course by the time my no.15 crossed the tracks at harcourt st there were the trams running quite smoothly!!
there were hundreds of people walking the tracks at beechwood. really surprised to see that -it was dusk and people were already stumbling on the rails. if it was a bit darker it would have been really dangerous. also would love to know what procedures they followed to ensure the track was clear when service resumed shortly afterwards...
