O'Connell - GPO (Irish: Ó Conaill - AOP) is a stop on the Luas light-rail tram system in Dublin, Ireland. It opened in 2017 as a stop on Luas Cross City, an extension of the Green Line through the city centre from St. Stephen's Green to Broombridge.[1] It is located on O'Connell Street, a short distance from the General Post Office and provides access to the Spire of Dublin.

Location and interchange

[edit]

O'Connell - GPO's single platform is located to the east of the tracks, integrated into the central reservation of O'Connell Street. It is a stop on the one-way system at the centre of the green line, and forms part of an interchange with the Red Line. It is situated around the corner from the southbound Marlborough stop and the Red line's Abbey Street stop.[2]
