After selecting the best overall route option for Luas Cherrywood RPA focused on determining the precise alignment of tracks and location of stops. During this design stage a wide range of issues including access to premises and stops, traffic management and impact on properties were considered in detail.
A comprehensive environmental impact statement accompanied the application for a railway order and was considered in detail prior to the railway order being granted. Click here to view or download this report.
As part of the Railway Order RPA provided draft design drawings of the Luas Cherrywood Route to see these drawings click here.
