Jervis Luas stop
Luas Red Line · Jervis
About Jervis
The two platforms at Jervis are staggered rather than set opposite each other, which is a rarity on the Luas; they were arranged that way to keep crowds from building up on one short stretch of footpath. Both are built into the pavement. The stop opened with the Red Line in 2004, on the stretch that runs east to west along Abbey Street through the city centre.
It stands just east of Jervis Street, in front of the Jervis Shopping Centre, which is the main reason most passengers get off here. The same platforms serve the north side of Temple Bar across the river and the site of St. Mary’s Abbey, and connect with a long list of Dublin Bus routes using the quays and the central streets. Trams run on east to Abbey Street and west to Four Courts.

Frequently asked questions
They are deliberately staggered along the street to stop passengers waiting for trams in both directions from crowding the same short length of pavement. It is an unusual arrangement on the Luas, where most stops have their two edge platforms facing each other.
Chiefly the Jervis Street shopping area, with the shopping centre of the same name right at the platforms. It also serves the site of St. Mary’s Abbey and, across the Liffey by one of the nearby footbridges, the Temple Bar quarter.
