The green line of the Dublin tram line and the red line Luas are now connected! | Ireland | Workhorinet

Hi everyone. Ireland in January is still dark and cold, but the weather may not be so bad this winter. Instead, it's been a very cold day. However, January is just around the corner, and as the days grow longer, we can soon hear the chirping of birds announcing the arrival of spring. In December of last year, Dublin, Ireland has a tram called Luas. It's finally connected! For years and years, there were plans to connect the two lines, the Green Line and the Red Line, but it never came to fruition.

However, in December of last year, after many years of construction was completed, I used to have to walk from Stephens' Green Park on the south side to O'connel on the north side, but now I have to go to work and school on the north side. It has become very convenient for those who are in the area because they can go without walking. It is not only connected to the center of town, but also to a town 3 or 4 kilometers away in the north. Places where there used to be only buses will become more convenient with the addition of trams. In the future, trams may extend to the airport as well. ! There is also a story, but I still don't understand it.

　When it first opened in December, probably because Ireland was laid-back, the operation in the center of the town did not go well, and it took 20 to 30 minutes to get to the center within 15 minutes on foot. It seems that there was also If you are traveling only in the city, you can go to famous sightseeing areas and shopping areas in the center of Ireland in just a few kilometers, so if you are only in town, it is faster to walk.

　For those who returned to Japan a year ago, please visit Dublin again! By connecting the two tram lines, you will be surprised at how the pedestrian streets have become wider and the atmosphere of the town has changed!
