Inspection blitz uncovers widespread free travel pass fraud

Maybe IR should consider changing the timing of their checks to out of hours when apparently fare evasion is rife.

I would expect that RPU will be out in force until close of service tonight especially on the DART services are at busy locations like Howth etc and everyday until weather returns to normal.

Its days like this where fare dogging will be high unless checks are in place.

I'd love it if trains were rife 'out of hours' never mind ticket evaders!

Well, maybe if Irish Rail could reliably collect the revenue, they might be able to stretch to a 2005 or 2105 to Mullingar or Longford. Chance would be a fine thing.

They were out in force at Connolly at about 5 PM yesterday. Probably more of a visibility operation than a serious attempt to catch people.
