      Someone brought up that the affected companies have a legal obligation to safe guard children, so what do you if a child has an e-scooter? NTA don’t think of everything…

      A better solution would be to ban the import of crap models and enforce safety regulations on models sold here.

      Was talking to a friend about this who works in the office in IR. She said that they get an incredible amount of complaints every day about bikes and scooters being a trip hazard and taking up space on the trains.

      They sent a few surveyors out at one stage to take the train and report back and they reported that bikes and scooters were a hazard to other commuters. It wasn’t pc to ban bikes so they came up with a reason to ban scooters, but they will get to bikes as they do believe they are not popular at all with all commuters apart from the ones with the bikes of course.

      I assume there were as many complaints from bus commuters also about scooters.

      As far as I know there is a plan to hand out fines for people with bikes and scooters on the trains eventually, but generally now the trains are too packed during rush hour to have an inspector walking through them anyway.
