Red Line Luas services halted after signal fault in Dublin

Dublin’s Luas Red Line was partially halted on Monday, June 30, 2026, after a signal fault stopped services between Red Cow and Belgard.

The disruption affected a key section of the Dublin tram network, but services continued on the Tallaght/Saggart to Belgard section and on the Red Cow to Connolly/The Point section.

Luas said tickets were valid on Dublin Bus for the duration of the disruption and that Leap Cards could be used on all TFI services.

Passenger impact

Passengers at Red Cow reported that no replacement shuttle buses were operating at the stop, adding to the uncertainty around the interruption.

Luas had not given an estimated repair time, leaving commuters without a clear indication of when the full Red Line would return to normal.

Why it matters

Belgard is the junction where the Red Line splits toward Tallaght and Saggart, while Red Cow is one of the line’s busiest stops. A fault on that stretch can affect a large commuter flow and risk knock-on delays as passengers switch to other TFI services.

The latest available information indicates the fault was the first confirmed cause of the disruption, with no immediate timeline for restoration.
