Six-year contract for Transdev Ireland

Transport Infrastructure Ireland and the National Transport Authority have awarded Transdev Ireland a six-year contract (plus a five-year option) to operate and maintain Luas — Dublin’s light-rail network.

The operation and maintenance contract was awarded after an international tender process and will come into force on 1 December 2019. Transdev operates 23 light-rail systems in eight countries.

In January this year, it (www.transdevireland.de) won the new Stage 1 Parramatta (Sydney, Australia) light-rail contract, worth 330 million euros.
