Yet, no explanation to commuters as to why… what sort of crap is that ?
“Passengers please be advised that there are currently no Red or Green Line services operating, we will update passengers in due course. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
Technical problem ? Accident ? Protest ? What ?

Luas green and red lines suspended due to security alert https://jrnl.ie/6191053
Not a lot more they can do, in fairness.

Yeah I was wondering the same....I'm not on twitter.... surely someone has an explanation.
For both lines to be impacted I'm thinking it's more than the usual antisocial behaviour.

Thanks for the update, strange that news outlets are updating the reason but the operator themselves not..

It's probably not that important at this point given all the trams have been evacuated and platforms cleared, but in the earlier stages of incidents like this it's probably sensible to be deliberately vague.

RTÉ mentioning a phonecall about suspicious activity on a Luas tram...
Gardaí have said they are working with tram operators in relation to "a phone call made regarding suspicious activity on a Luas tram" this evening.

A suspicious device was said to be on one of the trams. All are being searched.

So the entire luas network is down, at rush hour, because of a phone call?...

Tbh I'd rather be inconvenienced for a few hours than in the hospital or worse for days.
They have to take these things seriously.

And if they just ignored it and the worst happened you'd probably be on here complaining they did nothing.

Amnesty International’s new investigation shows that Israel imposes a system of oppression and domination against Palestinians across all areas under its control: in Israel and the OPT, and against Palestinian refugees, in order to benefit Jewish Israelis. This amounts to apartheid as prohibited in international law.

Google "airport bomb threat today"
Better safe than sorry applies.
I mean, think about it. Would you go to the trouble of buying a phone to call in a fake threat for a laugh?

Every bomb threat is called in. Should we ignore bomb threats?
