MILLTOWN LUAS TRAM STOP

August 23, 2024 by infomatique

FRIDAY 23 AUGUST 2024



The LUAS Milltown Tram Stop is a vital transportation hub in Dublin, situated on the Green Line and serving the Milltown area and the southern parts of Dartry, including Trinity Hall. It offers convenient access to various attractions and amenities in the vicinity.

The Dropping Well pub: A historic pub located just beside the tram stop, offering a traditional Irish atmosphere and a selection of drinks and food.
The Milltown rhinoceros sculpture: An intriguing and mysterious life-sized bronze rhinoceros statue standing proudly on a plinth in the River Dodder, adjacent to the bridge.
Dodder River Walk: A scenic walkway along the banks of the River Dodder, perfect for leisurely strolls or cycling.
Milltown Park: A large public park with sports facilities, playgrounds, and open green spaces, ideal for relaxation and recreation.

The S4 bus route also serves the Milltown Tram Stop, providing additional connectivity to other parts of Dublin. The S4 route operates between Liffey Valley Shopping Centre and UCD, passing through various key areas along the way.

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.

Advertising on trams, including full body wraps like the KFC promotion shown in some of my photographs, is quite common in Dublin and many other cities around the world. It’s a popular form of out-of-home advertising due to the high visibility and reach it offers. Trams travel through busy areas and are seen by a large number of people, making them effective advertising platforms.

The technique used to apply full body advertisements on trams is called “wrapping.” It involves:

Design: The advertisement is designed to fit the specific dimensions of the tram, ensuring it covers the entire body seamlessly.
Printing: The design is printed on a large, high-quality vinyl material using specialised printers.

Preparation: The tram is thoroughly cleaned and any existing advertisements are removed.

Application: The vinyl wrap is carefully applied to the tram’s body, ensuring it adheres properly and there are no air bubbles or wrinkles. This process requires skilled technicians and specialised tools.

Finishing: The edges of the wrap are trimmed and sealed to ensure a smooth and professional finish.

The process of removing a full body advertisement is relatively straightforward. The vinyl wrap is peeled off, and any adhesive residue is cleaned off the tram. The tram is then ready for a new advertisement or its original livery.

The frequency of these full-body advertising campaigns can vary depending on the advertiser and the contract with the transport company. Some campaigns might last for a few weeks, while others might run for several months.
