Luas faulty axles

SKULLY · 10-03-2014, 12:24

Luas red line trams have been tested over the past several weeks to check fracture cracks in motorized bogies.

On Saturday an in service tram travelling Connolly to Saggart was lucky to escape a derailment when one of the bogie axles (wheels) snapped.

The RAIU are currently investigating the matter.

Transdev and the RPA have failed to inform the public of this serious incident and <snip>

It is suspected that several trams have serious axle fractures.

Top brass management within Luas where questioned by RAIU and RSC on Sunday at the Red Cow depot.
