Snow and frozen temperatures on the way - as if we had enough traffic chaos already!

It isn't at all clear to me why Luas could not have operated for another 6 hours yesterday.

Very true.

This is exactly what a National Emergency Plan should be facilitating.

It is also why I suggest,that in the immediate aftermath of this event,a thorough and complete review of the NEM structure be carried out.

The Weather situation globally,is now providing us with enough evidence to show how major "events" such as this will become more common.

It cannot remain an option whereby,an entire EU State's economy comes to a standstill without some form of attempt being made to mitigate the effects of the problem.

However,perhaps the starting point lies in the hearts & minds of our population and endeavouring to find out just how many people would actually make the effort to get-to-work in the current conditions ?

Red warning has now been extended until 9am tommorrow morning, so I can't see services being back now until at least midday.

What about the operators of said service, how do they get home ? The magic fleet of Sno-cats out the back of every DB garage and LUAS depot ?

Well Luas put some staff in hotels and others would have had little problems getting home. Other people could of had issues. Everybody is different and not all "trapped" like people try to make out.

Ask Irish Rail for the route of the Sno-cats bringing their drivers around, they can pickup the DB and LUAS drives en route.

Seriously it's not like another branch of CIE isn't facing the exact same issue with their staff and somehow they can put a service on tomorrow.

Jamie2k9

Luas will make a decision after 09.00

Very questionable performance from them this week...

Please can all members remember to not play the man and instead play the ball.

Calling someone thick or being uncivil or personally abusive to them because they have a different opinion to you falls below the standard of posts we come to expect here.

I can't see the Rosslare operating based on getting bus transfers to bray. Edit its not running.

marno21

Not surprised that Rosslare services are not running: https://twitter.com/IrishRail/status/969581876229951488

Shouldn't be any issue with Limerick-LJ services anyway as the line isn't covered.

Interested Observer

Ahhhh no. Meant to be on a train at 930am from Cork to Dublin. They're saying services won't start until midday now.

Infini

I wouldnt be suprised if they dont run trains tomorrow either. Salthill is still flooded and underwater still and theres snow in alot of places. I cleared snow out of my drive today and its full of snow again. Pics on IR twitter showing parts of the kildare line completely buried in snow drifts.

This week or this year? :pac:

Stephen15

So DB will return tommorrow at 12:00 in the afternoon with a limited service the right decision probably, the drivers who live near the depots might be able to get in.

I suspect DB will drip feed us more services as the roads improve. Tommorrow I reckon we'll be looking at services on the QBCs and wider roads. I can't any local services such as the 59, 111 etc. running tommorrow more so routes like the 46a, 41, 747, 145, 16, 39a, the Lucan etc. running at a reduced service.

Going to try and drive an 18 tonne bus full of people in the ice and snow tomorrow.

For the first time with no training.

How hard could it be.


Wish me LUCK> I will need it.

Kh1993

Sitting on a 29a to town. How they even managed to run routes on main roads is beyond me. Horrendous conditions, brilliant effort from all involved.

greasepalm

i was out in car today main roads just about driveable single lanes only but side roads are very bad slushy and deep and witnessed rear wheel drive mercs on the road to nowhere blocking the road.

thomasj

39as are using the hartstown loop

Kh1993

1 and 17a back running now too. Passed a 31 in raheny in service too so expect that to be in the next list back up and running

Luas

Updated information for Red and Green Line services.

Services between Red Cow and The Point are now in operation. The average frequency of service is expected to be every 30 minutes. There will be no service into or out of Connolly Luas Stop. Saggart/Tallaght to Red Cow is not in operation due to the high volumes of snow and snow drifts.

Maintenance teams are working extremely hard to clear the snow on the tracks and platforms. There is an accumulation of snow on the tracks in certain areas which is taking longer to plough than anticipated.

The Luas Green Line is not in operation and an opening time today is yet to be determined.

We will update later.

Luas Park and Rides are all closed.

Please continue to check Luas.ie, Luas App, @Luas for service updates.

Please continue to monitor http://www.gov.ie/en/national-emergency-co-ordination-group and media for service updates also

They should have a very old one however not sure if they use it or not. TBH given the conditions on Heuston side even a plow would have problems.

They defiantly have at least one plow in Inchicore. Contractors would of been needed as well.

Maybe it simply doesnt work though. Problem is these kinds of weather events are very infrequent here.
