Impromptu Playground

Ok so this idea was taken by a group from San Fransico who did it in the Bay Area. Here's a picture for reference http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2009/04/bartswings.jpg

So the idea (modified it a bit to suit our participation but we could just do the same as they have done) is that we get on trains (probably not a good idea in peak hour) with individual swings attached to crab hooks big enough to fit of the railings... We put one or two in a carriage and across several different trains and a photographer on each carriage... We do one of two things...

1. The flashmobbers swing on the swings until they are told that they have to stop (to my knowledge there is no rule that says not to swing on swings in the carriage)

OR

2. We leave the swings and see if any children or adults get on them

This would probably be best done on a longer trip i.e. Brisbane to Gold Coast, Brisbane to Caboolture and not done during peak hour...

So suggestions?
