Gardaí and Íarnród Éireann need more than just one day of action on local rail services to stamp out anti social behaviour according to a regular service user. Gardaí are patrolling public transport services across the region today, as part of Operation Twin Track, a high viability plan to tackle issues on rail routes. Gardaí from the Longford/Roscommon/Mayo Division have been on the Galway-Heuston and the Sligo Connolly Services today.
Maria Keelty is a PPN Disability Rep in Longford and regularly travels to and from Dublin on the train. She says the Irish rail Customer Service Officers are dealing with serious issues on a daily basis. While she's welcomed Operation Twin Tracks, she's calling for a more effective and hard hitting operation to stamp out anti social behaviour on rail services.
