Abstract:

A new light rail system, the Luas, has been introduced to Dublin, the capital city of Ireland. Two lines form the system, one from the south and the other from the south west to the city center. At present they are not joined but plans are in place to link them in the near future. The first line is a year open since the end of June 2005 and the second is coming up to its first anniversary. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the performance of the new Luas service using the Transit Capacity and Quality Service Manual. The results of the evaluation suggest that for the most part the service gives a high level of service for the indicators considered. This is the result of a good design but also quite high standards of operational service levels the criteria for which is founded in a performance based contract.
