€300m to be spent on replenishing Luas fleet

Passengers wait around at the Luas tram stop outside Heuston Station.

Dublin’s light rail transit system is to spend €300m replenishing its fleet of trams for the first time since the network’s inception more than 20 years ago.

Transport Infrastructure Ireland has sought proposals from prospective contractors for the procurement of replacement trams and the “sustainable decommissioning” of the vehicles already in service on the network.
