Do you mean the revenue protection unit (RPU) checking tickets?

not sure..some woman in a navy jacket just checked my ticket...wasnt wearing the orange Irish rail.

Hilly Bill

Was it the normal Irish Rail uniform or just casual clothes? If uniform then may be a staff member taking part in a blitz ideally should have had a high viz on, if casual clothes could be doing a survey for Irish Rail, she was on the Sligo train last week.

L1011

The survey staff I've encountered had lanyards with the market research firm they worked for on them; although they may be using directly employed staff instead.

That particularly survey wasn't asking for any information the ticket barriers wouldn't have been able to tell them (origin/destination stations) really though.

BowWow

Not on DART, but interesting - wonder what the background is......
