Luas takes a trip down memory lane

THE impressive sight of a tram gliding over an historic nine-arch viaduct yesterday revived memories for older generations of Dubliners.

The latest Luas test was conducted on a new line along part of the track bed of the old Harcourt Street rail route which closed almost 50 years ago.

The new tram traversed both the old viaduct at Milltown and the spectacular new cable-stayed Taney Bridge in Dundrum.
