There are no services currently running on the Luas Green line in Dublin due to a power fault.

Services on the Luas Red line have resumed after earlier being suspended between Smithfield and Connolly stops.

Luas tickets are valid on Dublin Bus during the service disruption. The Green line runs from Boombridge in northeast Dublin through the city centre to Brides Glen, near Cherrywood, in southeast.

Luas operator Transdev apologised for any inconvenience caused, confirming in an update at 4.30pm that the Green Line is still entirely down.

It said the service disruption has been caused by a power fault, the cause of which it cannot yet confirm.

“Multiple Luas technicians are on site and are working systematically along the Green Line to identify the source of the fault,” the Luas customer service Service team said in an update.

Customers will be kept informed in real time via the Luas website, social media channels, and media traffic and travel updates. We apologise for the inconvenience caused, the team said.

“Luas commits to providing the public and the media with an explanation of the cause of the current power outage. This information will be shared once the power has been fully restored and maintenance teams have completed their analysis.”
