If I had the choice of 1,000 properly trained policemen vs 2,500
community support officers I'd go for the 1,000 policemen every time.

Oh, well...


It is not at all unreasonable - it is the minimum sensible thing to do.

Well, I'll try next time :-)
I'm not sure where to search for station supervisors though - I
suppose they are not the people, who stand at the platforms and try to
control the passenger flow... oops, I mean... the *customer* flow.
