Reply To: All aboard the Luas, at last Tickets, please: the low-down on Luas

Will the Red Line be ready for 30 August? Unlikely I should think. Most of the stops in the City Centre remain to be completed.

Heuston Plaza will look great when all the works are done. Lots of complementary planting of trees as well and a smart new contemporary look. However I think Abbey St has been a missed opportunity. Its getting a bit by bit paving job but it looks so starka nd plain and drab. Seeing as the Luas is taking so much of the trafffic off the street I would have thought tree planting and a better choice of street furniture would have been in order. A boulevard connecting soon to be revamped Capel St, with O’Connell Street and an improved Beresford Place and Busaras. Seems more like a case of get it done and get out of here.
