The strategy includes a number of proposals to further develop the light rail network in the GDA including the Luas. These include Luas Cross City; New Metro North light rail link from the south city centre to Swords, via Dublin Airport; Capacity enhancements and upgrade to the Luas Green Line from the south city centre to Bride's Glen; Extension of the Luas Green Line to Bray; Extension of Luas Cross City to Finglas; Luas to Lucan; and Luas Red Line extension to Poolbeg. The strategy does not include a proposal for a light rail extension to the wider Dublin 15 area.
