Ranelagh (; Irish: Raghnallach) is a stop on the Luas light-rail tram system in Dublin, Ireland. It opened in 2004 as a stop on the Green Line from St Stephen's Green to Sandyford.[1] It provides access to the urban villages of Ranelagh and Rathmines.
The Green Line re-uses the alignment of the Harcourt Street railway line, which closed in 1958. The Luas stop at Ranelagh is on a stretch of track where the line crosses Ranelagh Road on a viaduct. The Harcourt Street line did not have a station here (a station called Rathmines and Ranelagh was situated further down the line, at the location of the present Beechwood Luas stop). The bridge over Ranelagh Road consists of a steel deck constructed in 2004, and the existing stone abutments.
Ranelagh is one of few Luas stops to have a station building of sorts - a two-storey structure located on Ranelagh Road. The building has a wide entrance, above which is a sign showing the stop's name in the same style as on the platform signs. Inside, the building has little more than tiled steps leading to both platforms. A lift also provides step-free access from the street to the southbound platform. A section of the building is used as a retail unit and is currently occupied by a restaurant. The platforms at Ranelagh are located directly above Ranelagh Road and have the benches, ticket machines, shelters, and displays common to all Luas stops.[2]
Trams stop at the stop coming from either end every 2-10 minutes.
Dublin Bus routes 44/d and S2 serve the stop connecting the stop with areas such as Rathmines and Ballsbridge, as well as further destinations such as Kimmage, Sandymount and Irishtown.
