    From Broadstone to Broomebridge, the line travels along the former trackbed from when the Broadstone terminus was in use as a railway station
    4:43 is where the luas line deviates from the original line route

    • @joshuaW5621
      @joshuaW5621 Год назад

      You may also know that the section of the line from Charlemont to Sandyford and most of Carrickmines to Cherrywood travels along the former Harcourt Street line to Bray as well. In fact, the station buildings at Carrickmines, Stillorgan (which is past the Sandyford Luas stop) and it’s pumping station, Dundrum, the Nine Arches Viaduct, and Harcourt Street station are still there.

      @@joshuaW5621 in all my 21 years of visits home to Ireland on SailRail from Holyhead, I’m wondering the same thing too, even if there is a DART to Bray & Greystones - there are freight lines around Dublin Port that could easily have passenger trains on them, as they have already proven is doable with commuter trains using the Phoenix Park Tunnel - their mismanagement has also seen poorly designed bridges that cannot raise for ships, that even if the Liffey channel was properly dredged, it still would not allow foot passenger only ferries and seaplanes to sail further up the Liffey as far as the Custom House - they have also (again) shelved the high-speed rail tunnel under the Irish Sea from Holyhead to Dublin to complement HS2 here in the U.K., even though the rail infrastructure here in Manchester is a disaster - a dedicated high speed rail line across the North of England to connect Hull, York, Leeds, Manchester and Holyhead to connect the ECML to the WCML is also essential

    Thank you, Daniel. Your videos (I include your video of the LUAS Red Line) were very helpful. My wife and I are returning to Dublin in March, 2022 - this will be our 11th trip to the Emerald Isle and after watching your recordings have decided to devote a day to riding both the red and green lines from beginning to end. If you don't mind a few questions from an American who is 47% Irish ... (1) Once you reach the terminal end (be it The Point or Brides Glen), do you need to disembark and reboard the LUAS or can we remain seated for the return trip? (2) The point of transition between the Green & Red Line appears to be at Marlborough, correct? If we are getting off the Green Line, where do we walk to to get on the Red? Is Abbey just around the corner?? (3) To see the Guinness Store and Brewery, do we get off the Red Line at James? (4) is the pass we buy good for all day and both lines or for only one line and one ride? Thanks again for taking the time to record these rides. You're a gem. Slainte' from Portland, Oregon.

    • @ireland_european_railways_zp
      @ireland_european_railways_zp  3 года назад +3

      Thank you for your very insightful comment! (1) When you reach the terminus at Brides Glen you can normally stay on the same tram and take it back. But when it gets to Broombridge after coming back from Brides Glen or Sandyford, it sometimes goes into the depot and another team comes in and takes its place. (2)Yes the Red Line cross over the Green Line at the Abbey Street/Marlborough Street. (3) Abbey Street Luas Stop is about 100m away from Marlborough Luas Stop, around the corner. (4) As far as I know there is a ticket you can buy from the ticket machine that allows you to travel on both lines in every zone.

      @Elliott Temp How kind of you, Elliott. Yes, my friend, we enjoyed our time in Dublin (a trip that included Tullamore and Donegal). The only disappointment was contracting COVID our first day there. I'll spare you the details, but it was inconvenient. Given the requirements (at that time) to test negative prior to returning to America, because we were both COVID positive, we remained in Dublin 10 more days than we planned for. So we took full advantage of walking to such beautiful places as Phoenix Park and the Botanical Gardens. Each and every day, we found our way to the most beautiful park on planet Earth: St Stephen's Green. When I die, that is where I want my ashes spread. I can hardly wait to return. Next time, however, I'll likely be doing it alone. My wife (of 47 years) has stage 4 lung cancer. There is no cure. Our trip in March 2022 was based upon the realization that we did not know how much time Cindy had. We knew that the risk of contracting COVID was high, but it was a risk worth taking. I'm glad we did, because next time I come, I will likely do it alone.

    For anyone interested in the Luas system, I saw Tram No. 5021 in Dundrum @ 54.6m - four span sections instead of three - (a Citadis 402 converted to 502). Trams No. 5001 - 5026 are all due for conversion starting this year. Seven new Citadis trams of 54.6m in length (502) were introduced in 2018 (5027 - 5033) with another eight due in 2020 (most likely 5034 to 5041).
