Default Increase in ticket checks

Anybody else notice the sudden increase in ticket checks (especially at heuston)?

They are nearly on a daily basis now....last year if you saw 1 a month it would be it

Also had a check out in Hazelhatch last week!!!

Plus a lot more people getting handed over to the gardai when they get troublesome

There is a big fare evasion problem and the return on a few inspectors standing around is significant, no excuses if you are caught getting off a train from Heuston at Hazelhatch.

Exit and entry validation is coming soon at Hazelhatch

this is cap in hand with exit validation, same happened in connolly.

attitude of inspectors can be hit and miss, we have it in writing what the default attitude is, we are working on changing it.

Stasi with a Smile anyone?

In contrast, the ticket checkers at the Amsterdam Biljmer/ArenA station were handing out paper and crayons to anyone with kids on Monday afternoon when I passed through.

(resists urge to make joke about IE hiring some clowns)
