Dublin traffic and travel: TFI and Luas passengers left in limbo as timetables not available online, road closures due to Budget 2024

A general view of Middle Abbey Street in Dublin city center during a cloudy weather. On Wednesday, November 18, 2020, in Dublin, Ireland.

Those commuting on public transport this morning have been left in limbo as timetables are currently not available online.

Those using the Transport For Ireland app which recently replaced the Dublin Bus app, are dealing with “no live information available.”

Luas passengers are also dealing with the same problem as information cannot be accessed from the Luas website or the app.

Although, the tram service, buses and the DART are still operating as normal.

The Luas Twitter said: “Passengers. Please be advised that the real time passenger information on the Luas website and App is currently unavailable.

“All Red and Green Line services are operating normally. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.”

This comes after all Luas services were suspended across Dublin city centre yesterday evening which left crowds of commuters stranded.

On the Dart, the 7.25am Bray to Malahide is terminating in Connolly due to a mechanical issue. The 8.50am Malahide – Bray has been cancelled.

Today in the city centre, Merrion Street Upper, Merrion Square West, Kildare Street and Molesworth Street are all fully closed today.

This comes ahead of the budget announcement, all traffic is being diverted to Merrion Square South..

Meanwhile, traffic is moving slowly on the M50 between Junction 11 – Tallaght and Junction 12 – Firhouse, southbound direction, following a collision.

In the city, traffic is very heavy on Westland Row, Lombard St and City Quay.
