Disruptive passenger in Luas

    Seen today Luas stopped on Cowper station with no door open (I mean no green flash on open buttons). Few passengers very confused as they want to off the carriage, but only first front door was actually open. What I heard from two Luas service guys (hi-vis jackets) was "To keep disruptive passenger off the train". I am not frequent Luas user so I wonder if that's often procedure? Whom they mean as "disruptive passenger"? Is there any list of them?

    any one of the thousands of drunks, bums, junkies and general scumbags that inhabit Dublin and free load on the Luas causing hassle and annoying customers...

    No zom,it`s not often procedure but it should be.

    Regular Luas users will most likely have such a list in their heads,and marvel at the ease with which members of it have established squatters rights over the entire system.

    If the Customers know them to see,it stands to reason that the Staff know them also.

    Its likely that either STT security (the Luas security contractor) and/or gardaí were ont eh way

    Certain individuals are persistent trouble makers. Banning one individual reduced emergency handle activations by 63% from 2009 to 2010.
