Default Time for Zero Tolerance?

Strange, the habit of boarding whilst people are alighting seems no
different when the train isn't even full. In fact it seems its not just
about a seat but also which seat on the train they have targeted as the
train pulls in.

As for the Station Assistants approaching customers who are smoking I wholly
agree. Enforcement of Byelaws is best tackled by BTP.

With some people ignoring the 'let the passengers off the train first'

rule
and even smoking on stations and platforms, is it time for zero

tolerance?

Is it time to expect London Underground to uphold the Byelaws?

When London Underground provides a clean, pleasant, fast, reliable
service for its paying customers we'll let the people off the train
first.

And whilist I can appericate and encourage non-smoking underground. I
fail to see the point of not letting people smoke in open air
stations. Im sure there is a reasonable reason why this is banned?
Surely any underground or enclosed station should be non-smoking.
While open air station it'll be allowed. Im sure the station
assistants at Harrow On The Hill station who won't even go an approach
smokers on the open platforms in the evenning would agree with it.
