Surely then Irish Rail can pull you up also for misuse of the safety equipment if they wanted to? €2000 fine for doing so isn't it?

Now if the thug was on fire it would be a different story :D

Mark if you get a chance can you also get the cross-route tickets checked, I think there is a similar problem here. My usual ticket from Arklow to Newbridge went up from €22.20 to €24.20, yet each...
