The Hove MP has called for action against anti-social behaviour on our trains. I'm all for it but will his suggestions ('Signs should be much clearer and there should be more of them. Train staff could assist by intervening more often. Regular announcements over station and train intercoms would certainly help. Departure boards in stations and electronic signage on trains could display messages relating to behaviour') actually do one jot of good?

My idea is to hire anonymous looking men who travel around incognito and then tackle offenders on the spot. I would always have them working in pairs, but not seen together, until they are needed. Alcohol should not be tolerated. I don't blame the staff for not wanting to get involved, but my 'train-marshals' would be paid to be tough and stand no nonsense. What do others think? Surely we have to do something!
