The Gallops (Irish: An Eachrais) 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] The stop provides access to the nearby village of Stepaside.[2] The stop is named for the nearby housing estate (built in the 1990s),[3] [4] which is named for its location near Leopardstown Racecourse.[5]
The stop is located at the side of Ballyogan Road. To the south of the stop, the line continues in a section of reserved track next to the road. To the north, the track curves along Murphystown Way.
