Brides Glen (Irish: Gleann Bhríde) is a stop on the Luas light-rail tram system serving Cherrywood in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, County Dublin, Ireland. It opened in 2010 as the terminus of an extension of the Green Line south from Sandyford.[1]

Location and access

[edit]

Brides Glen stop was built at the end of a concrete viaduct over an empty plot of land. The adjacent Grand Parade street was later built on the eastern side of the station, while the eastern side is still undeveloped as of September 2024. The sole entrance is to the road which runs past the southern end of the stop. Ramps provide access from the entrance to each of the side platforms. The short space between the platforms and the road contains buffers, a flower bed, electrical substations, and toilet for Luas drivers. There is a double crossover on the tracks immediately to the north of the stop.

Services

[edit]

Trams stop at the stop coming from either Parnell or Broombridge every 10-18 minutes.
