Dublin commuters faced important delays this morning, August 27, 2025, as a power outage impacted both the Luas Red and Green Lines. Services have since been restored, but travelers should be aware of continuing disruptions on the Red Line due too a separate incident.
Power Outage Impacts Red and Green Lines
The power outage resulted in the complete suspension of service on portions of both lines. Red Line passengers traveling between Smithfield and The Point experienced no service, while Green Line service was halted between Broombridge and St Stephen’s Green. The outage caused widespread disruption during the morning commute, impacting thousands of passengers.
Ongoing Red Line Closure – docklands Fire
This morning’s disruption comes on the heels of an existing closure on the Red Line. Services between Connolly and The Point remain suspended following a fire in the docklands area. Transport officials have indicated that this section of the Red Line will remain closed for several weeks as repairs and investigations continue.
Commuters affected by the Connolly to The Point closure are advised to utilize choice transport options, including Dublin Bus and DART services. The TFI Journey Planner (https://www.transportforireland.ie/journey-planner/) can assist in planning alternative routes.
