A pedestrian bridge with lifts and other station improvements were completed in 2018 to facilitate transfers to the two Luas terminus platforms which became operational in December 2017.
[8] In 2012, additional security measures were added along with seating and decoration in advance of the station's redesign as part of the Luas Cross City project.
[citation needed] Broombridge is the northern terminus of the Green Line of the Luas, Dublin's Light rail tram system.
The tram platforms were constructed in 2017, at the same time as the nearby Hamilton Depot, the forecourt which provides space for buses to access the station, a staff car park, and a footbridge over the main line tracks to allow easier interchange.
On average, trams depart every 10 to 15 minutes and head south towards Brides Glen, a journey which takes approximately one hour.
[10] In 1847, when the railway was opened, the MGWR briefly established a station at Reilly's Bridge just over 0.5 km (0.31 mi) to the west but closed it before the end of the year.
