Luas services in central Dublin on Thursday have been disrupted due to a power fault.

The outage affected thousands of commuters on Thursday morning.

Apologising to customers for the disruption, Luas said technical teams had been working to safely reinstate power at a substation.

In an early afternoon update, Luas said it had no service operating between St Stephen’s Green and Dominick due to the power fault.

“Luas tickets are valid on Dublin Bus for the duration of the disruption. You can use your Leap Card on all TFI services,” it said.
