But now hopefully this will be a thing of the past as from today the deployment of seven new trams takes place as Luas operator Transdev will be adding them over a period of 12 weeks at a cost of €36 million. These trams will be 12m longer making them the longest trams in the world. A spokesman for Transport Infrastructure Ireland said to the Irish Times that the trams will be introduced every couple of weeks starting from today, with all seven trams being in full operation from the middle of May. The new trams hope to reduce crowding and the length of time in which customers are waiting. Eventually - it has been a tough couple of weeks.Three full luases have just passed me that I’ve not been able to get on going towards town. The service since the line was extended has worsened severely @Luas. More investment in running more trams +strategic planning needed.
