Harcourt Street is a vibrant and historic street located in Dublin’s city centre, known for its diverse architecture, cultural attractions, and lively atmosphere. But it’s not just about history! Harcourt Street is also famous for its buzzing nightlife, with popular nightclubs like Copper Face Jacks and Tripod drawing crowds, especially on weekends. This adds to the energetic atmosphere of the street, particularly in the evenings.

The street is also home to a significant landmark in Dublin’s transport network: the Harcourt Street Luas stop.

The Tram Stop

The Harcourt Street Luas stop is situated directly in front of the former Harcourt Street railway station, a grand Victorian building that once served as the terminus for the Dublin to Bray railway line. The station, which opened in 1859 and closed in 1958, has been repurposed and now houses a variety of commercial and residential spaces.

The Luas stop itself is a modern addition to the street, having opened in 2004 as part of the Green Line. It features an island platform, a rarity for Luas stops, which is flanked by tracks running in lanes reserved for trams. Road traffic must travel on the western side of the street.
 
The stop is a major transportation hub for the area, connecting passengers to various destinations along the Green Line, including Broombridge, Parnell, and Sandyford. It also provides easy access to other modes of transport, such as Dublin Bus and the Dublinbikes bike-sharing scheme – you’ll find a Dublinbikes docking station on nearby Clonmel Street.

Key features of the Harcourt Street Luas stop:

Accessibility: The stop is fully accessible, with ramps and lifts for wheelchair users and those with mobility impairments.
Real-time information: Digital displays provide up-to-the-minute information on tram arrivals and departures.
Ticket machines: Passengers can purchase tickets at the station using ticket machines or the Luas app.
Security: The stop is monitored by CCTV cameras for passenger safety.

Points of interest near the Harcourt Street Luas stop:

Broadstone is one of three neighbourhood’s that together form the modern-day Phibsboro area in Dublin, Ireland. Situated furthest south among these, it starts just two kilometers north of the Father Mathew Bridge at Ormond Quay. The area is triangular in shape, bordered by Phibsborough Road and Constitution Hill on the west, North Circular Road on the north, and Dorset Street and Bolton Street on the southeast. Its postal code is Dublin 7.

The Grangegorman Gate, built as part of the Luas Cross City project, serves as a vital entrance to the Grangegorman University campus. This completed public plaza now significantly connects Grangegorman to the heart of Dublin. It’s located off Constitution Hill where the old Royal Canal once was, at the site of the former Great Western Railway Station (commonly called Broadstone), and is now a major gateway to the Grangegorman urban quarter.

The Broadstone area, bordering Grangegorman on its east, underwent a Part VIII planning process in 2014 to enable site development and gate access.

The Grangegorman Masterplan envisions the main urban path through Grangegorman, St Brendan’s Way, connecting with the Broadstone Gate, ultimately reaching Prussia Street. This Broadstone link can also be viewed as an extension of Dublin’s historic 18th-century core, which stretched from Dublin Castle across Grattan Bridge, along Capel Street/Bolton Street, to Henrietta Street and King’s Inn.

History of the stop on the Harcourt Street Railway Line:

The Milltown Luas stop is located near the site of the former Milltown railway station, which was part of the Harcourt Street railway line that served Bray from 1854 to 1958. The original Milltown station was added as an infill station in 1860 and was situated on an embankment north of Milltown Road. The main station building was on the Dublin-bound platform, and a footbridge allowed passengers to cross the tracks. The closure of the Harcourt Street line in 1958 marked the end of an era for rail travel in this part of Dublin. However, the opening of the Luas Green Line in 2004, reusing the alignment of the old railway line, has revitalised the area and provided a modern and efficient transport link.
