Alstom and Dalkia have maintained the light rail
infrastructure since the Luas started operating in 2004. Over
the course of the new contract which will take effect on 1st
October this year, the network will increase by fifty per cent
as line extensions are put into service. The total network
length will then reach 36-twin km. Alstom is currently
supplying 26 new Citadis trams to RPA, which will bring the
number of trams in operation to sixty-six by 2010.
Roland Kientz, Senior Vice President for North Europe at Alstom
Transport, said: "This is a significant contract as it reflects
our customer’s continued confidence in Alstom to deliver
a complete package of rolling stock and maintenance of the
successful Luas system."
