    Smoking onboard the train

    £80? A VT Train manager told me it could be £4000! I wasn't the smoker, I was standing in the vestibule and I could smell cigarette smoke, it was the air-con-sucking in toilet fumes again! Of course the TM was notified by an alarm, he came up and asked who just came out of the toilet, being...
