I had one of their ticket vendors shout abuse and chase me down a platform because I gave him a €2 coin that he didn't recognise. It was a coin from Finland and perfectly legal tender, he just didn't recognise it as such.

It was highly embarrassing, I'm not in the habit of trying to pass of fake coins and it was totally uncalled for.

I actually thought he was some kind of psycho who had been hanging around on the station as I couldn't understand what he was shouting at me.

(this wasn't at Maynooth, but I think their vendors really ought to get a good course in basic manners !)
