<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radio media reported that a bus-tram collision occurred after 7am this morning (16 March 2019) at the intersection of Benburb and Queen Streets on Dublin\u2019s north side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bus bound toward the City Centre on Queen Street collided with eastward Red Line tram (unit 3003) heading toward The Point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The leading section of the tram was derailed and there was damage to both vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

News media have reported eight injuries and that it may hours before the tram line is open to traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I exposed these photos minutes ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find this accident especially shocking since I\u2019ve often watched trams pass at the adjacent pub, and I travel this route regularly, having been on a tram to Bus Aras just last night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benburb and Queen Streets were closed to road traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll post more photos to this site shortly. To make photos quicker\/easier to load I’ve lowered the resolution. Hi-res images from my cameras are significantly sharper, but might slow down this site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
