Special seats for Bags

[Thomas J Stamp]

Getting the train to Dublin on Saturday from Templemore I noticed that around half of the seats in my carraige were being filled by people's bags. Not big samsonite luggage ones but backpacks and carrier bags. There was nothing - at all- on the overhead rack. People were moving through the carriage looking for seats at every stop. Surely the ticket collector should ask everyone to shove their bags up on the racks when moving through the train. This is as bad as the usual not getting up for old or pregnant passangers.....
