RED LINE TRAM SERVICE
Today I had weird conversation when a tourist at Connelly Station asked me for directions on how get to the Point … I told them they needed to get a tram from Store Street and then a person standing nearby said that there was no tram stop at Store Street and that the person needed to go to the “Busaras” stop and when I said but that’s on Store Street he responded ” the Luas stop serving Busáras on Store Street is technically located on Marlborough Street”. I said to the tourist “I will walk with to the correct stop”.
Taking the Luas Red Line from Store Street (Busáras) to the Point Village:
Busáras Stop: The journey begins at the Busáras Luas stop, located directly across the street from the Busáras bus station on Store Street. It is easily accessible and clearly signposted.
Line and Direction: Ensure you board a Red Line tram heading towards “The Point.” This information is usually displayed on the front of the tram and on platform signage.
Stops en Route:
George’s Dock: The first stop after Busáras, located in the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC).
Mayor Square – NCI: This stop serves the National College of Ireland and the surrounding area.
Spencer Dock: Located in the heart of the Docklands, a bustling area with offices, shops, and restaurants.
The Point: This is your final destination. The Point stop is situated in the Point Village, a vibrant area known for its entertainment venues like the 3Arena, as well as hotels and restaurants.
Travel Time and Frequency:
The journey from Busáras to The Point typically takes approximately 10-15 minutes.
Luas Red Line trams run frequently, usually every 5-10 minutes during peak hours and slightly less often during off-peak hours.
Additional Tips:
