Each of the 26 trams are being extended by 11.1m through the addition of two new modules per tram. This will convert the Luas Citadis 402-type trams into longer Luas Citadis 502-type trams . The extended trams are being introduced in response to increased demand on the Green Line service. The number of journeys on this service has increased from 30.5 million in 2013 to 41.8 million in 2018. Commuter peak-time services are in particularly high demand.

“I look forward to the better service Luas will be able to provide to Green Line customers over the coming months as more of the trams are extended,” Ross added.
