The first Luas tram crossed the new bridge at Taney Cross in Dundrum in Dublin today. It is the first test run of the Luas on the new suspension bridge.
The new line is scheduled to go into service in June and the level of activity on the line between Sandyford and St Stephen's Green will increase dramatically as the roll-out of the Luas approaches.
The line follows the path of the historic Harcourt Street Line which closed in 1958. The running time between Sandyford and St Stephen's Green is 22 minutes. Trams will travel in both directions every five minutes at peak times.
