Here’s a few recent images of the current state of affairs at Connolly Station Luas works. I particularly like the railings along Harbourmaster Place (although the colour’s a bit dull ). The canopies have now bleached to a much lighter shade.

Image below canopy as seen from terrace level. The trams are really quite ugly when seen from above !
Still cant get over the fact that this section cost €30 million.
got a side elevation photo? wasn’t the tented canopies supposed to step down to a lower level from the station concourse level? hard to see if they do in the first photograph
i think this was mentioned before but i still don’t quite understand how these were designed with such thick poles? which now seemed it got an even thicker cladding around the vertical ones…
i thought it would have only looked right with slender poles supporting the canopies
What design?
Its bloody woeful, the Texaco childrens art comp has rarely seen worse!!!!!
Here’s a side elevation taken a few weeks back before the cladding was applied.
As for the costs the RPA has claimed that the actual figure is closer to 12 million. Still a heap of money though.
Compaired to the original photomontages you can see that the structure has been made much bulkier and the support legs are fatter.

Oh dear, that is very clumsily done. Absolutely no finesse or style. That’s so disappointing as plans I saw some time back looked like it could be quite good.
That’s so disappointing – I saw plans of the design originally and it looked like it could be quite good – that isn’t.
It’s horrible! To sloppy. Its like they were trying to make a statement but made too many little mistakes that when all put together just throws the whole design off. Thats awful!
Thanks for the photos, JJ.

This is one I downloaded a long time ago from the old Luas/RPA web site. The new sites have far less photos and information.
You can see from this image that the traffic island has been changed. There was a line of trees with a bus pull in behind but on site they have just widened Amiens Street.
The canopy structure seems to have a lattice and the supports are in a different location.
