Next stop, Abbey Street

Next stop, and in fact the temporary last stop for LUAS Red line services until early Autumn is in Abbey Street. While work is carried out at the Connolly stop for the extension to the Point, the Connolly and Busaras stops are now closed.

The facilitate this, the platform at Abbey St. has been widened, and some dividing bollards have been added to the track side.

The tram crossing overhang issue where a solid white line with a slight bend had been painted, is now even more obvious with bright yellow marker bollards...And the bollards continue track side making traffic movements a bit more challenging alongside the Abbey St. bus stops...

The 130 drivers will face the brunt of the problem as the narrowest part of the road is at their stop...

(ps. Yes, it is a 130, the rear scroll of AV235 is just stuck on the Out of Service three stars)

And in case you were under the illusion that you might even be able to continue along the tracks to Busaras, forget it... its ring-fenced!
