No appliance of science on the Luas

Sir, – May I make a plea on behalf of common sense and basic physics?

Sir, – May I make a plea on behalf of common sense and basic physics?

Every morning I use the Luas to get to work and every morning I encounter budding Einsteins who try to bend the laws of space with their rucksacks. I stand squashed on a busy train – already feeling like a sardine in the last lift out of hell – when the train gets to the next stop and on gets one of these Stephen Hawkins with his or her enormous protuberance ready to make my journey all the more uncomfortable and frustrating.

I understand we live in a busy city and trains all over the world are packed during the rush-hour commute, but really, must we suffer at the bags of the inconsiderate? – Yours, etc,
