Whats with it do you think? Are they saving on petrol or diesel or something? Certainly a health and safety risk. At least in the good old days of the last recession when the train almost religiously broke down in Mostrim you could open the windows. (Most of the time you could open the windows and stick the head out if you wanted there was only the one line and no passing trains:D)
And as an aside but related to health and safety- whats with this business of them practically advocating smoking, the last few times I was on it. Any time theres been a delay at a station to tell folk to get off if they want for a cigarette. As a public body arent they supposed to be enforcing the smoking ban.

+1 unbelievable, why not start smoking sections again then? And yes every smoker I know risk annything for their ciggy.
And yes I'm one of these ex-smokers who I hated when I was still smoking!!!0 -

Why would someone who does not smoke, have an issue with people who do having a ciggie on the platform while the train has stopped? You must really miss them to be that annoyed if you don't mind me saying. Not avocation, just informing people of their choice, being adults and all. I'm well impressed. One of the few common sense things people get to see these days. :cool::cool:
as I said I'm the ex smoker I hated while I was smoking.
Stopped smoking 15+ years ago and don't miss them at all. I'm not really that annoyed since it was 20+ years ago I was in a train
.
Don't like walking through people who smoke though, like at the sligo general where people insist to smoke at the door way instaed of the alocated shelter. So a smoking section on the platform is the simple solultion.0 -

Smoking in enclosed workplaces (which includes railway platforms) is illegal so there would have to be a change in the law to allow smoking sections.
You are right about SGH and the smokers in the doorway - another example of poor management and low standards. Staff who smoke at the entrance should be disciplined.0 -

Yes that sounds like Ianroid Eireann alright. And your right as well you wouldnt mind so much if they showed some kind of professionalism or basic courtesy to make an announcement or communicate with their customers.
