    Too right.

    I was initially confused as to whether it was an accident on the Skibbereen or Drumshambo Luas networks.

    :)

    Ooh, a Leitrim call out. You spelt Drumshanbo wrong though.

    Guys,

    Just spoke to a relative who works for the Luas. At this point the driver cant be removed from the tram. The guys have just arrived back at the depot for more tools. Also there is a man and a child apparently trapped on the bus.

    Lets hope all are okay.

    Jesus. Though in fairness, the bus was asking for it, all tarted up like that.

    Well as it may be the cause of a death I would hold judgement on how well it works. It will be pretty relevant if it turns out the safety of the design comes into question.

    Over budget, flawed track, flawed ticket system more expensive than other proposals that most likely have worked better and cheaper. Just because something works doesn't make it the best

    The concept is not flawed, it's the exact same system that runs in Nice and Bordeaux... (and possibly loads more french cities!)

    I would assume the Dublin fire dept would have the tools for that??

    Hope the driver and anyone else injured will be ok :(

    UPDATE
    RTE wrote:
    15 people have been taken to hospital after a serious collision involving a Luas tram and a bus in Dublin's O'Connell Street.

    Three passengers were described as 'seriously injured'.

    The driver of the Luas was trapped for a time in the tram and was cut out by the emergency services.

    They have gone back to get tools for lifting the tram back onto the track once everyone is taken out safely by the emergency services. Obviously they arent involved in trying to get the people out! :rolleyes:

    The Nice one is certainly younger than ours because it wasn't up a running when I was last there. The ticket system and rails have proven to be flawed in this country. The French also had this really fast plane too but that was proved to be flawed. :P
