Have to take up smoking
When you ride the trains for a living(?) people seem to begin a pattern of selecting a set range of carriages they prefer to get on. For me, I choose the carriages depending on which ones are not going to be too crowded, which usually means I get to have a nice walk to the “other-end” of the train station because people seem to congregate around the entrance/exit to the station, as well as congregating underneath the “covered” space of the station platform.
Now, one of the problems with being “at the end” of the station is that it is also a magnet for the smokers. I think there’s a local law that prevents smokers from puffing under the covered area.
Even with the wonderful open space “at the end” of the platform, there’s more smog with the puff-mamas and puff-daddys around.
Of course, when it’s raining you’ll find me under covers and I can just run when the train arrives. Unfortunately, the dedicated puffers are still out there “at the end” of the platform.
Of course, when catching a train from one of the under-ground stations here in Sydney (for me that’s at Town Hall Station and Wynyard Station) we’re all under-cover so the smokers get a real hard time until they can get home.
