About Grangegorman
Grangegorman very nearly did not get a stop at all. When Luas Cross City was being planned, the intention was to leave a gap in the line here and make provision for a stop to be added later; the decision to build it after all came late in the development, and it opened with the rest of the extension in 2017.
It stands beside a Dublin Bus depot at Broadstone, with two edge platforms walled in on either side, and a single way in and out: a pathway leading from Grangegorman to one end of a platform. The campus it was built for, the main site of the Technological University Dublin, is immediately to hand, and the Mater Hospital is a longer walk away. Trams continue from here towards Phibsborough and Broombridge in one direction and Broadstone – University and the city centre in the other.

Connections and interchange
Grangegorman is served by the Luas Green Line only. There is no change to another line here and no walking transfer to another station nearby.
Facilities
luas.ie publishes no facility list for individual Luas stops, so the only stop-level facts here are the Park & Ride and Cycle & Ride flags from the operator’s own stop data. Absence of a row is not evidence that something is missing.
What is near Grangegorman
The university sets the tone. The main Grangegorman campus of the Technological University Dublin is about 320 m from the platforms, with All Saints’ Parish Church at roughly 260 m and St Peter’s at 380 m. Green space is close: the Serenity Community Garden at about 210 m, Great Western Square Park at 220 m and Blessington Street Park at 340 m. The Mater Hospital is reachable on foot but is a good deal further than any of these.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. The plan for Luas Cross City was to make provision for a future stop at this site without building one, and the decision to construct it was taken late in the project. It opened with the rest of the extension in 2017.
By a single pathway from Grangegorman to the end of one platform. It is the stop’s sole entrance and exit, so there is no way in from the other end of the platforms.
