Luas Green Line · Westmoreland
About Westmoreland
Westmoreland dates from 2017 and Luas Cross City, the extension that took the Luas Green Line on from St Stephen’s Green through the centre to Broombridge. It stands on Westmoreland Street immediately south of O’Connell Bridge, about as central a position as the network has.
It is also only half a stop, by design. Through the city the Green Line runs as a one-way pair, and Westmoreland is served by trams travelling north only; the matching stop for the other direction is Trinity, some 130 m away, so a passenger waiting on the wrong one will wait a long time. South of here the two tracks of the pair come back together and the trams swing around College Green on their way out of town. The Red Line is a separate walk rather than a change of platform: Abbey Street is about 250 m off across the river, roughly four minutes on foot.

Connections and interchange
- Abbey Street — about 4 minutes on foot (our estimate, 250 m in a straight line). It is a separate stop, not another platform here.
- Trams the other way call at Trinity, 130 m away: this is one half of the Luas Green Line’s one-way pair through the city centre.
Our estimate from the straight-line distance of 250 m, not a measured walking route.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Through the city centre the Green Line is split into a one-way pair, with the two directions on different streets. Westmoreland takes the trams running north. For the other direction the stop to use is Trinity, about 130 m away, and the two are treated as separate stops with separate names.
On Westmoreland Street, immediately south of O’Connell Bridge, so it is the last call before the river for trams heading that way. Just beyond it in the other direction the two tracks of the one-way pair reunite and the trams run around College Green.
