The Red Line (Irish: Líne Dhearg[2]) is one of the two lines of Dublin's Luas light rail system. The Red Line runs in an east–west direction through the city centre, north of the River Liffey, before travelling southwest to Tallaght, with a fork to Citywest and Saggart. The Red Line opened on 26 September 2004.
History
[edit]Construction work began in March 2001 on the Tallaght to Connolly line, as well as the Sandyford to St. Stephen's Green section of the second line, with Ansaldo of Italy and MVM of Australia getting the contract to build the system.[3] The St. Stephen's Green to Dublin Airport section was dropped before construction began, as it was decided to serve the area by a metro instead. The contract to maintain operate the system was awarded to Transdev Ireland (formerly known as Connex).[4]
The extension from Connolly to The Point opened in 2009,[5] with the extension from Belgard to Saggart opening in 2011.[6]
Interchange with the Green Line began in December 2017 with its extension crossing the Red Line either side of the Abbey Street stop.[7]
Rolling stock
[edit]The Luas Red Line is operated using Citadis trams.
Depot
[edit]The tram depot for the Red Line is located at Red Cow where the main control room for the entire Luas system is also located.[8][better source needed]
