OK, we're all familiar with air rage, but what about on trains? Does anybody have any stories about passengers on a train getting out of hand? <br /> <br />I thought of starting this thread after picking up the latest issue of The Railway Magazine (what British people read instead of Trains). There was a section talking about the huge problem in Britain of passengers spitting at railway staff. This problem is so big that on some railways' staff have been given DNA collection kits! (Yes, really!) They consist of latex gloves, cotton swabs and a plastic bag to put the evidence in. Witnesses to the spitting are also asked to sign the bag. The sample in then taken in for analysis and entered into the national DNA database to find a match. It's kept on file in case the person does it again. <br /> <br />I can only hope that this doesn't become a problem over here, but with all the terrorist scares you never know what could happen.
