Shame on Luas management and PR people

Because of Storm Bram on

Not a word from Luas

Tuesday and part of Wednesday there was a limited disruption to transport around the country.

Yesterday the  Luas Green Line was out of commission for a number of hours, the Red Line for a shorter period.

These things happen and nature most times has its way. But yesterday’s behaviour of Luas management is not acceptable.

Rail passengers, who were interchanging with the Luas, were given no prior information.

Why did Luas not link in with Irish Rail to inform passengers who were linking in with the Luas that the Green Line was not working.

One example: passengers travelling on the Sligo/Longford/Maynooth line, who disembarked at Broombridge to travel with the Luas, were left stranded at Broombridge. 

Had it been announced on Dublin bound trains passengers could have stayed on their train and then disembarked at Drumcondra, Connolly or Docklands.

A perfect example of shoddy and poor management at Luas. 

Where were the PR people yesterday? 

That’s no way to run a public transport company.
