Wow! You do a lot of commuting

college project by any chance?

I hate travelling on it, full of scum, never felt comfortable. Staggeringly slow between Heuston and CC

plenty of drunks and drug addicts and generally not a pleasant journey for anyone especially anyone travelling with children! There are also drug addicts moving further out as far as the Red Cow stop lately trying to get on the late night buses there.

O'Connal Street Junction signal/lights changes are way to long. Security needs to be improved along the line particually at Heuston.

I'm used to the more 'colorful' passengers that frequent the red line at this stage so they don't bother me much at all,but as was mentioned above it is an incredibly slow crawl from James/Heuston to the City Centre.

Would also be handy if they stopped citybound services at 12.30/1am on Saturday nights instead of midnight.

Andremac96 what do you think about the Luas red line and the other services you have asked for opinions on?

Fair enough that some get fined for no tickets, that's the rules

But there are some double standards going on

The quiet office worker with no ticket gets fined
The aggressive skangers just get put off at the next stop.......and they just get the next Luas

Pays to be bould and brash

Hmmm,perhaps it does...but those good folks who brought us Carlsberg have a somewhat different take on it......mind you they'd probably need STT to make sure their instruments were'nt stroked by the Red Line regulars........:)

The Gardai were busy at several red line stops earlier moving people on under section 8 of the public order offences.

I don't know what that is but I heard some random junkie telling another about how they can be moved from any area at any time so as to avoid a breach of the peace or to prevent public order breaches

That's pretty much what Section 8 is, anti-loitering legislation.

I get the red line every week and it beats the 123 back in it's Imp bus heyday as one of the funniest places to people watch IMO.
