Broombridge Luas stop
Luas Green Line · Droichead Broome
About Broombridge
The Green Line finishes in Cabra. Trams began running to Broombridge in December 2017, when the extension north from the city centre opened, and the stop has been the line’s northern terminus ever since; everything south of it runs through town and out to the far side of the city.
What makes it worth the journey for anyone with a timetable in hand is what sits alongside: Broombridge railway station, on the Western Commuter line, about 70 m away. Iarnród Éireann gives the walk between the two as two minutes. They are separate places with separate names, platforms and entrances, and the Irish form used for the tram stop is Droichead Broome, after the bridge over the Royal Canal just up the road.
