Major travel disruption in Dublin as Luas Green Line services come to a halt. Dublin Bus steps in to help commuters during the service suspension.

Dublin commuters faced a morning of chaos as Luas Green Line services were abruptly suspended due to a technical issue with the overhead power lines. The announcement, made early on Saturday morning, left many passengers stranded, with no trams running on the Green Line. Luas technicians immediately sprang into action to inspect the overhead lines and tram equipment to rectify the problem. In the meantime, Dublin Bus stepped in to accept Luas tickets, providing some relief to affected commuters. The city's transportation network was in disarray as passengers scrambled to find alternative routes.
