Location and access

[edit]

The Green Line runs on mostly segregated track, making use of the disused railway alignment of the disused railway alignment from Bray to Harcourt Street. The Windy Arbour stop is located between Churchtown Road Lower and St. Columbanus' Road on the site of a former footbridge that crossed over the railway. The stop has the signs, displays, shelters, and ticket machines common to all Luas stops. It has entrances from each of the neighbouring roads. The Churchtown Road entrance consists of a layby which can be used by cars and buses to drop off Luas passengers. The St. Columbanus' Road entrance is a paved plaza leading from a bend in the road to the northern end of the platforms.

The stop is also served by Dublin Bus routes 44, and 44D.[5]
