The lost art of queueing

Far from orderly at Connolly Station

Sir, – As a frequent user of the 4.50pm Enterprise train from Connolly Station in Dublin to Belfast, I am amazed at the lack of civilised boarding procedures in place. Once the gate is opened there is an almighty stampede to the train in order to secure a seat or at worst find a place to stand!

What must our overseas visitors think when they witness the chaos that takes place as we try to get on the train? – Yours, etc,
