Recommendation

Transdev Dublin Light Rail (TDLR) should enhance the Tramway Safety Instruction (TSI) Manual operating instructions for all depot and Line Signalling System (LSS) locations based off site-specific risk assessments for the different locations. These enhancements should include step-by-step guidance on how trams are moved at these locations; this should include how verbal permissions are granted by Luas Network Management Centre (LNMC).
