With the tracks almost 15 years old, the curves and area's of the city center will need to be replaced in the coming years so such closures will probally be more common.

Are Transdev and the NTA been a little lazy here, two trams stationed at The Point could provide a Heuston-Point shuttle service every 20 minutes. Transdev had no problems putting security at the Point if there is disruption in city center and trams cannot get back to depot at night and now the Green Line is there they could easily get back to a secure location.
