Dublin Students: Luas Cancelled Tomorrow As Storm Ophelia Takes It's Toll
Bad news for commuters in Dublin. Luas have announced via their website that there will be no service tomorrow due to damage of a 'technical room' by Storm Ophelia.
Here is the statement from their website:
Notice from Luas regarding service Tuesday October 17th 2017
There will be no Red or Green Line services on Tuesday morning October 17th 2017.
Earlier today an incident occurred in the Luas Depot, Red Cow, Clondalkin. A technical room was damaged because of Hurricane Ophelia.
It will take time to investigate the damage caused and time to repair. We are not able to give an estimate in relation to the time it will take.
Luas will therefore not operate a service on Tuesday morning October 17th 2017
Luas will inform customers, media and the public about Luas services post a 12 noon meeting tomorrow.
Luas has updated the NECC on this matter.
Customers are advised to follow media reports and to check Luas.ie, follow twitter@luas
Luas customer care is open 7am – 7pm.Luas service is currently not in operation as a result of Hurricane Ophelia
Kind Regards,
Luas Customer Care
