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.

BUS SHELTER 1725 AT DOYLE’S LANE

August 7, 2023 by infomatique

ON CLONTARF ROAD AND IT IS THE MOST ATTRACTIVE THAT I HAVE SEEN IN DUBLIN


THE ANNIE LEE BRIDGE FOLLY IS NEARBY

I was lucky as I arrived at this stop just ahead of a really heavy shower of rain. While I was there two large dogs arrived and remained in a section of the shelter until the rain ceased.

This is described as an island bus stop as a cycle track runs between the footpath and the bus stop waiting area and shelter creating, a pedestrian island at the bus stop that is segregated from the footpath. This design resolves the conflicts associated with in-line bus stops, that is, the conflicts between buses and cyclists on the roadway, and the conflicts between cyclists and pedestrians at the bus stop. However, island bus stops create a potential conflict area on the cycle track behind the bus waiting area, where pedestrians need to cross the cycle track when moving to or from the bus stop.
