Luas Docklands - Service Reduction?

KD345

Has anybody else noticed a reduction in Luas service to The Point? At peak times there was usually a tram to The Point every 4/5 minutes, however now there seems to be gaps of 12-14 minutes.

It's only started since the Saggart section opened, so I'm wondering if trams have been taken from The Point section to cover Saggart?

I don't remember the RPA/Luas announcing a new timetable for The Docklands Luas.

Real Time stop information from this morning attached.

I don't recall there ever being such a short time gap to the Point.

Am I right in saying that now with the Saggart line open the trams run Connolly-Saggart and The Point-Tallaght? If so, then there probably hasn't been a reduction in Point service, since the old Connolly-Red Cow trams are now extended to Saggart.

When the service was first launched it was advertised as every 6.5 minutes at peak, but certainly in the last few months it was not uncommon for there to be a 4/5 minute gap between trams at peak times (8am in city centre), with a slightly longer gap if there was a Connolly tram in between.

Just nothing like the 12 minute gaps which seem to be in place now.

I use the spencer dock stop the whole time and at peak times there is a tram every 8 mins or so

I thought that when the Point service started only 1 in every 3 trams went to Connolly?
