Luas Strike Dates Announced

It is going to be interesting to see the reaction to this. I am surprised at Transdev's approach. I would have expected them to take the same approach as the last Irish Rail strike where any journeys started before stopping time had to be finished before anyone went back to depot. That would have been enough to take the teeth out of a 6PM stop.

Transdev's approach is high-risk and I can see it causing more disruption than the planned stoppage but perhaps the shift-change arrangements make it a moot point anyway.
