Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Accessibility in Planning and Delivery of Transport Projects: Discussion
Mr. Peter Walsh:
I will hand over to Ms O'Donnell to deal with many of the questions, as she is much closer to the Luas user group and the issues that may have arisen. In terms of capacity, we work closely with the NTA and have recently completed a capacity enhancement programme on the green line, with an increase in capacity of approximately 30%, or nearly 9,000 passengers, per direction per hour via extended trams and new trams. In general, the red line does not have an overall capacity problem, although I appreciate that there are probably capacity issues at peak hours. I will ask Ms O'Donnell to deal with the specifics.
