Luas overcrowding

[colmoc]

Rail bosses are due to be questioned by the Oireachtas transport committee today about how they plan to tackle overcrowding on the LUAS system in Dublin. The committee is set to quiz the Railway Procurement Agency about its moves to introduce bigger carriages on the tram service.

The new carriages are due to be brought in by next January, but speaking ahead of today's meeting, Fianna Fail TD Charlie O'Connor said he wanted this to happen sooner.

He said the LUAS system was the victim of its own success and measures were needed to alleviate overcrowding as soon as possible.

did they ask the question of why they got it wrong with carriage length in the first place?
