Glencairn (Irish: Gleann an Chairn) is a stop on the Luas light-rail tram system in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, County Dublin, Ireland. It opened in 2010 as a stop on the extension of the Green Line south from Sandyford to Brides Glen.[1]
Location and access
[edit]The stop is located at the side of Murphystown Way, near Glencairn House, the official residence of the British ambassador to Ireland.[2]
To the south of the stop, the track continues in a reserved section at the side of the road. To the north, it cuts through an otherwise undeveloped wooded area, crosses the M50 motorway on a bridge, and continues north.
Onward transport
[edit]The stop is served by Dublin Bus routes 47 and 118, providing connections to Stepaside and Belarmine, as well as further destinations such as Stillorgan and University College Dublin.
