Don't some tube trains have CCTV in them now? Could the drivers not
take a look in the carriage via the cam and if its obviously youths
dicking about and just pulling the alarm for the hell of it then
just cancel the alarm and continue as normal?


But it might have been another passenger who pulled the alarm, concerned
about his safety in the presence of wild youths. Difficult for the
driver to tell from the cam screen, I should think, and anyway this is
an area where zero tolerance should be applied IMO.
