There are no overtime or premium payments.
Normal team is 3 when onboard, at a large scale station check it could be up to 20 (half of which are management drafted in either on there way to or from there office job)
The rate of detection has increased significantly in recent months and while most will not believe it many of the checks on intercity services are intelligence driven. We can't reveal how this works, but there are internal controls which mean the RPU team are notified in advance of possible high risk trains.
Compared to Luas, Irish Rail fare evasion detection is poor.
