I happened to be in town running errands on Friday afternoon while one of the new LUAS trams was parked on Middle Abbey Street for a ‘safety awareness day’, presumably in preparation for the opening of the first phase (St. Stephen’s Green/Sandyford) later this month.
As it was raining at the time, and I was in a bad mood for some reason or other, I neglected the opportunity to step onto the tram for a closer look — meaning this crappy photo will have to do for now.
But rest assured, dear reader: when the Abbey Street/Tallaght line opens in August, I’ll take a trip out to The Square and do a proper job of it.
