    I havent seen in years. Maybe at least 10 years.

    Two ticket inspectors working there way through a DART asking for tickets.

    Of course because of some of the types the DART attracts they were being escorted by two of the largest living men I have ever seen.

    Is this a recent return or I have just been using darts that seem to miss them at rush hour?

    Oh and where do IE hire there security from they have clearly been eating there veg!

    I used the get the 6am DART every morning and there was always a ticket inspector on it up until a year or 2 ago. I always ended up paying for my ticket this way as there were no ticket machines or staff at Howth Junction in the mornings at that hour.

    I haven't seen an inspector for a good year or two now and I use the DART at all hours of the day. Any time from 6am - 7pm, 7 days a week.

    I get this all the time, usually late evening. My annual ticket is in bits, you can't even see my photo or validity month. Never an issue.

    You'd get them off peak on the Maynooth line every couple of months

    I've only made a proper DART journey once in the last year, and my ticket was checked on the train. It was one of those strange journeys which had 4 legs, and my ticket was checked by inspectors on 3 seperate occassions!
