Trying to get around the city hasn't been particularly easy these past few years thanks to the Luas Cross City works, but now the end is in sight.

And it looks pretty damn good.

With the news that the first tests will be carried out this June, it looks like we won't have long to wait, and now an official picture has been released of what the Luas lines will actually look like.

As well as the Green and Red Line, there's going to be the Cross City Line which has brought with it an abundance of new stops.

Dawson Street, Westmoreland Street, College Street, O’Connell Street, Parnell Street, Dominick Street and Marlborough Street will welcome new Luas stops, as well as Boombridge, Tallaght and Cabra.

With test runs being carried out during the summer months, there also has to be extensive driver training, so it's looking like the big launch will be December 2017.

Are we already planning our Christmas shopping route? Yes.
