Dundrum (Irish: Dún Droma) is a stop on the Luas light rail tram system in Dublin, Ireland which serves the suburb of Dundrum. It opened in 2004 [ 1 ] as a stop on the Green Line , which re-uses the alignment of the Harcourt Street railway line which closed in 1958.
The Luas route substantially follows the original Harcourt Street railway line, which was operated by the DSER from Dublin to Bray. Closed in 1958, the alignment was preserved intact for several decades until it was taken over by the Luas. Dundrum railway station opened on 10 July 1854 and closed on 1 January 1959. [4]
The route corridor remained mostly in place until the 2000s, largely due to the Dublin Corporation putting a ban on construction on the trackbed in 1972. The section between Grand Parade and the old Stillorgan station at Sandyford was chosen for use by the Luas light rail system whose Green Line opened in 2004.
Improvements to the road have been made over the last 10 years, the most significant being at Dundrum Cross where the road was widened to make room for the new Luas bridge and Dundrum bypass . The official description of the R112 from the Roads Act 1993 (Classification of Regional Roads) Order 2012 [ 2 ] reads:

Luas is operated by Transdev, under tender from Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII). (Prior to the later RPA merger with the National Roads Authority to form TII, the tender was originally under the defunct Railway Procurement Agency jurisdiction). The Luas was a major part of the National Transport Authority's strategy (2000–2016). [5]
