    Maybe have the drivers push a button when they see this about to happen. This button would cover the doors in a strong, quick drying adhesive. That would be humerous.

    I hear you can get a better bounce from the front of the Luas

    They aren't doing it right...?

    They should be throwing themselves out in front of the tram!

    This isn't purely a "scobie/skanger" thing.

    I knew a gang of lads from Gonzaga who were doing this at the Luas around Harcourt St one night.

    Snobs can be stupid too.

    Snobs trying to act like skangers. It's the in thing at the moment.

    Or open both the doors on either side and let the idiots fly right through.

    I was told by a friend of mine last week that some of the local scobies on the red Luas line have taken to what's apparently called "tram bouncing" - it's where one of the said scobies runs at the moving Luas and "bounces" their bodies off the doors.

    I didn't believe it myself until I saw on kid do it up near the Rialto Luas stop. He bounced and then fell on his arse on the grass at the side of the track. I was kicking myself I didn't get video of it.

    At least they're getting some exercise! :rolleyes:

    OMG, that's unreal, people are still using the word scobie...

    They should cover the train doors in fly paper, so that when they go to "bounce" they get stuck.

    Got the bus thro leafy Clontarf a while ago, and spotted a group of young Canterbury wearing Rugger-bugger types hid behind a bush looking a bit mischievous.
    Just as the bus goes by them, I could see an arm going back, and an object being hurled the upstairs windows.... it was a water bomb!!
    They may try, but they FAIL hilariously!!!

    Don't they know a brick or clump of fireworks is the proper way...

    It would. untill the driver gets done for murder.

    A friend of a friend works for Irish Rail, apparently it is quiet common for people to throw themselves in front of the train to commit suicide, the drivers always hope they get a jumper cause if they are driving they get three months off work!!!

    No they don't. It's actually quite traumatic for drivers who run people over even though they know they're not at fault. In London there's a serious problem with Tube drivers being denied counselling by their employers and not being allowed to talk to the media about their experiences due to a clause in their contracts.

    (The above may be true or may all be made up. I can't remember.)

    Yeah, I'd say it'd be cold up front in the older trains alright.

    The tube drivers love it. Theu get about nine months off on full pay for counselling. (OK, Maybe love it is a but harsh, but they get well looked after)

    All the New stations have platform doors to stop this happening.

    Just put an 2"x2" angle iron brace on the inside of a few of the doors. They will be in for a shock when they try to bounce from these. :D

    Or paint them with Solvite :D:D:D

    Nope, just water.

    Wow, they get to run people over and get rewarded for it with three months off work. And on top of that they go on strike whenever they feel like it.

    That's it. I'm becoming a train driver.

    I'd say let them at it, but what we'll probably have is the bleedin hearts coming out saying that we need to stop this pactice i.e. employing security crowd to patrol the tracks.. then bang and your Luas fare goes up by 10% per journey.

    Did you not know it's all the fault of the middle classes for not providing enough playgrounds and yoof clubs for them to spend their time in?
