The extension of the Red Line tramway from Belgard to Saggart opened in 2011. The two tracks end by the concrete block in the foreground. The actual Saggart tram stop is a little further back along the line, where the tram can be seen in the distance.

It is perhaps surprising that the branch should end at this point, near the junction of Fortunestown Lane and Garter Lane. The centre of Saggart is a walk of several minutes from here, but running to there would have involved extra construction costs, and probably the necessity for the tramway to run in the road, rather than on a private reservation.
