While the legislation affects covered or partially-covered premises, the railways are using existing railway bye-laws to extend the smoke-free environment to all uncovered platforms and footbridges for reasons of practicality and simplicity."

And at the bottom of the article
"Station premises including corridors, lifts, toilets, waiting rooms, reception areas, waiting rooms and shelters etc; railway offices - No smoking
On trains - No smoking
Platforms and footbridges – covered, uncovered and partially covered; Subways - No smoking
Areas external to the station such as most uncovered car parks and station forecourts - Smoking permitted "
Are tram stops covered by railway byelaws? They aren't part of the railway.
