MILLTOWN TRAM STOP 11/07/2025
Interestingly, the current Milltown Luas stop re-uses the alignment of the former Harcourt Street railway line. This railway line, which closed in 1958, had a station at Milltown as well, opening in 1860. While most of the original station buildings were demolished after the railway's closure, the Luas stop was built in largely the same location, with the retaining wall at the edge of the southbound platform being one of the few original features retained. The impressive Nine Arches Viaduct over the River Dodder, which the trams now cross, was also part of the original railway infrastructure and was renovated for Luas use.
