Cheeverstown Luas stop
Luas Red Line · Baile an tSíbhrigh
About Cheeverstown
Cheeverstown was built as a place to leave the car. Its car park holds 312 spaces, and the stop is laid out on reserved track beside Katherine Tynan Road in the Cheeverstown district so that drivers coming in from the south-west can finish the journey by tram. There is cycle parking as well.
Like the rest of the Saggart branch it opened in 2011, and it sits between Fettercairn and Citywest Campus. Its Irish name is Baile an tSíbhrigh. Because the branch is worked separately at quiet times, passengers travelling between here and the city centre at those hours change trams at Belgard.

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
It has 312 spaces. The stop was planned around it, which is why it stands on a stretch of reserved track with room for a car park rather than in the middle of housing.
No, it is on the Saggart branch. The Red Line divides at Belgard: one branch runs through Cookstown and Hospital to Tallaght, the other through Fettercairn, Cheeverstown, Citywest Campus and Fortunestown to Saggart.
