Just to elaborate on this point, this is what is happening at Belgard stop at the moment. After 18 months ignoring it, suddenly CSO's have rekindled their interest in the stop because of the connecting Saggart trams. They've no intention of boarding the trams themselves, but 2-4 of them are loitering around the platforms for lengthy periods of time quizzing alighting passengers. It's the easy targets as outlined above who are getting hassled, while the fare evading gangs and groupies are getting off scot-free. Because of it, the rest of the line is generally neglected by CSO's at the moment, and that shouldn't be happening.
