I was involved in a similar incident between hawksbury river and woy woy
on a V set when a few kids were kicking out the windows in the doors and
one of the other passengers had a word to them and they didn't take him
seriously so we devised a plan that would catch them at woy woy,
basically i went into the adjecent car , the other guy went into the
main part of the car they were in and we held the respective doors
closed and the driver stood outside the main doors and had the police on
hand and they were taken away without question, this is a good example
of citizens and staff working together to stop these fare evading, train
damaging, passenger annoying pricks
