Sir, – I am glad that somebody (Bruce Misstear, July 14th) has finally objected to the large vinyl graphics that first appeared on Dart trains in January of this year.
It is especially annoying when the only seat on a carriage is alongside one of these oversized opaque cartoon stickers that hinder one’s enjoyment of the outside world.
The view from the Dart is a natural, free resource and taking time out to look upon the landscape is one of the great pleasures of commuting in and out of the city.
The fact that these poorly thought-out objects are there ostensibly to promote the beauty of “Dublin Bay’s Biosphere” but in fact impede anyone from enjoying that same biosphere in peace seems to sum up the witless nature of modern life too perfectly. – Yours, etc,
