Luas Cross City Gauge Run June 2017

The first trams were tested on the new Luas Cross City route on Saturday 17th June in the city centre. The gauge run consisted of using two trams moving at slow speeds (from 5kph up to 10kph) between St. Stephen’s Green, College Green and over to O’Connell St. These tests will took place during the morning - from approximately 07.00am until 12.00noon.
The tram movements were controlled by test marshals on the ground and supported by An Garda Siochána to bring the trams across the city centre and through junctions.
The gauge run tests include a range of measurements and checks to ensure that the new infrastructure is working with the trams. The gauge run allows the engineering team to check the exact and precise specifications. A second day of gauge run testing took place on the morning of Sunday 18th between Broadstone and Cabra.
During the Summer months tram testing will continue in advance of passenger services commencing in December.
