For many commuters, it’s not good news.
As Hurricane Ophelia rages on in Ireland, it seems like there may be another day of disruption tomorrow.
Luas has announced that both the Red and Green Line will not be running tomorrow morning due to damage caused by the storm.
#Luas services will not be running tomorrow morning on either the Red or Green Line. Please see luas.ie for updates

There will be no Red or Green Luas service running tomorrow morning (Tues 17th) due to damage caused by Hurricane #Ophelia. Those travelling to the hospital are asked to take alternative modes of transport. How to get here; https://t.co/iZftzqQWDh https://t.co/I4PDJu3yId

So, if you travel by Luas to work, we’d recommend finding an alternative mode of transport.
Meanwhile, Dublin Bus tweeted that it expects services to resume as normal tomorrow morning.
