I am quite amazed that they finally identified them all, and it
certainly had to be done, to close the whole tragic episode.

What disgusts me is that I still occasionally see some imbecile who
insists on smoking on the Underground. The last one I complained to,
an obnoxious lout, stubbed out his cigarette on the upholstery in the
train!

Only a matter of time till there is another fire somewhere, and it
will not be an escalator, or probably not the fault of LUL, but it
will be due to some cretin who insists on smoking where it is banned.
If it were up to me, I would charge the tobacco companies with
corporate manslaughter, after all they deliberately stimulate and
encourage the addiction which causes this problem. I wonder if the BTP
and/or HSE have thought about that one, instead of blaming those why
try hard to run a railway under difficult conditions?
