    ..of the new ticket barriers in Heuston ?

    Is it just to make sure that folk will at least have a ticket to Sallins when they go to Cork , Waahterford or Kirrry ?

    They seem a waste - online tickets don't work, contract tickets don't work so they still have to have a guy there to man them. And of course it being IE wherever there's one guy he has to be accompanied by a few others in case he gets lonely.

    On the up-side I did notice that the STT Rail Security guys hanging around today didn't look like the usual Serbian Militia men freshly released from a Balkan jail - in fact one of them even smiled at an old lady and picked up her umbrella.

    Oh parsi...if only they could loan a few of the Serbian Militia teams to Bus Atha Cliath and deploy them on the N11 corridor routes these evenings.....a team close to Burn in Stillorgan and a few others along the way as far as Donnybrook.

    I feel it would be a very good excercise in personal development to allow those enterprising young Irish members of the "Knowledge Based Economy" to actually meet up with arguably less knowledgeable,but better resourced foreign chaps whose task would be to ensure order is maintained and other passengers and staff are respected on the BUS service.

    Whatever about the STT Guys picking up old ladies brollies,you can bet your sweet bippy the KBE lads would snap it in two and throw it away !!! :(
