Rail travel callout: What is your experience of anti-social behaviour on trains?

We want to hear about your experiences with anti-social behaviour on trains in Ireland.

Members of the National Bus and Rail Union (NBRU) say authorities must act to protect rail workers from “anti-social behaviour and downright thuggery which has now gone well beyond a tipping point”.

The union is to ballot its members in Irish Rail from next week for a mandate to engage in industrial action including work stoppages "in protest at the lack of protection afforded to members" in this regard across the rail network.

Irish Rail says it has measures in place, including private security personnel, to address “the scourge of anti-social behaviour”.
