Tram 3002 transferred from LUAS red line to Green line

enterprise

Tram 3002 has been sent over to the Green line to provide some relief while 4002 / 4012 which are still off service after both trams sufferred serious crash damage in a collision in Stephens Green in September.

3002 was in the process of being transferred by low-loader earlier tonight from Red Cow to Sandyford and should be in service on the Green line from early next week, possibly later this week.

Also it scuttles the urban myth that the two tram lines are incompatible.

It will at last prove it to the unbelievers but people out there will still somehow think that the two lines are incompatible

If it made front page news on all the papers it and was discussed for a week on the broadcast media, it still would not kill this story.

I expect to be hearing this one from Taxi drivers at some stage in the (far) future when you can ride from Heuston to Sandyford on the one system.

Maybe they should send a 4000 series tram accross to the red line to really prove the point!
