Here we go again.
With no resolution yet reached between Luas workers and the Luas operator Transdev, the latest in a long line of Luas strikes came into effect on Thursday morning.
Though we all knew it was coming, that doesn’t mean we’re necessarily prepared for the consequences and that certainly seems to be the case on Dublin commuter routes.
Our services are operating as normal this morning but due to Industrial Action at Luas please allow additional time for your journey.

Dundrum Bypass is already back to Wyckham Way. It will take at least 30 mins to Milltown and that time will rise as the morning goes on

DUBLIN: There is a crash on the Malahide Rd inbound at Clontarf Golf Club. Traffic can get by with care but traffic is busy on approach

Several sources warned of heavy traffic in the city from early in the morning as a result of the strike and it’s not doing much for the moods of commuters probably still struggling to overcome their early morning crankiness.
7.14 am and there's a massive tailback coming off M1 into Whitehall. I f**king hate Dublin traffic.

The joys of @Luas strike and being on the bus! Be aware your €68 monthly ticket does not work here when #luas on strike #dublinlife
