Pictures show people packed in aisles drinking with no social distancing on heaving Translink train

These shocking pictures show a train headed from Dublin to Belfast heaving with people in the aisles and some drinking with no social distancing.

Social distancing appeared to be all but impossible as the oversold Translink train left Connolly Station at 11.20am on Friday.

A passenger on the train said there were 16 people all either sitting on the ground or standing near the doors as the train set off for the North.

That number is reported to have swelled further after a stop in Dundalk on the way saw people have to take to the aisles between the already-full seats.

Translink has been contacted for a comment.
