St. Stephen’s Green LUAS stop

This Luas stop marks the start of the green line running out south of Dublin. It is probably one of the more scenic stops being located directly across from St Stephens Green. You never really need to wait long here for a train and I can’t remember ever needing to wait longer than 5 – 10 minutes.

It leaves and arrives on time. The public transportation system in Dublin is not the greatest, I would say it is pretty horrible but usually it is on time and it is the same for the LUAS stop at St Stephen’s Green. It is a start/​end destination so you would expect some delay but I have not experienced it being on it at all times of the day, which is pretty impressive.
The maps in the train are clear and the information on where you are and the stops are also very clear. It is always easy to take the LUAS.
The station is as any other station for LUAS but here you just a bit better view as the neighbor is St. Stephen’s Green. The station is also very conveniently located at the end of Grafton Street so it is easy access to the city center of Dublin 2 as long as you do mind walking a mile or a miles and a half.

So this was the first-​ever LUAS stop that I used in Dublin as I was in town and had to get down to Windy Arbour for a potluck dinner event … about 5 km south.
Luckily I had my LEAP card already and all I had to do was tap my card to the reader and jump on … with the 1,000 other people cause this is the first/​last stop on the Green LUAS line and it was evening rush-​hour.
Maps of the system, both in English and Irish, are near each train door and an automated voice calls out the next and arriving stations at the right time so it was definitely helpful cause looking out the window was difficult with the loads of people on-​board as well as me having no clue where I was heading as it was my first time that far south of the city center.
Trains arrive/​leave this central location pretty often and it’s very open-​aired and right across the street from St. Stephen’s Green (a park) in Dublin 2.
Get your shopping or drink on, walk to this station and «Get Out of Dodge» quickly and easily.
