New Bye Laws

[Thomas Ralph]

Main change I think is that they officially have the right to issue a standard fare notice to someone after they get off the tram.

Another ticket issue rarely discussed is the Return Ticket limits. On a Return Ticket, the first leg of the journey must be completed within 90 minutes of ticket issue. This does not appear to cater for delays, disruptions, signal failures, or other hold-ups along the routes.

A journey from one end of the lines to the other takes 40-50 minutes. That's not accounting for waiting times before boardiing. A signal failure for example can cause significant delays, as can a serious incident along the line. If a person resumes their journey at the end of the disruption, and their single journey then takes over 90 minutes, they could get hit for a Standard Fare, which would be grossly unfair. It's something to be even more aware of on Night Luas services, where long waits and long journeys are frequent, and subject to more delays.

Why is that?

True, but that applies for single tickets too. It's mainly designed to stop the ticket being used twice in the one direction. Is it enforced much I wonder?

[Mark Gleeson]

Its rarely enforced and the CSO's know if there has been a delay.

(k) smoke any cigarette, cigar or pipe or be in possession of any lighted material,

What about Lightsabers?

[Thomas Ralph]

On a more serious note, that paragraph makes it illegal to smoke whilst walking across a tram line!

Once it isn't lighted, but please note:

(j) be in possession of any gun, knife, explosive device or any other weapon or other dangerous item,
