BTW, are there any smoking carriages left on British trains?

I think intercities still have them (did last time I travelled), but in
the event of carriage shortages it was cattles class smoking that got
chucked off, and you weren't allowed to trudge to the business class
smoker and stand and light up there, or they wanted you to pay the
suppliment.

On one train where they ahd dropped the commoners smoking carriage the
guard/revenue collector actually said to me, go stand in the doorway by
the window with it down when you want one. Such an amazing display of
undertanding that on a 4 hour journey an addict to a legal substance may
need a fix. First and only time it has happened though.
