Smoking under the canopy was predicated here before it opened as it was inevitable. I have already had a moan about it and was told that even though it was banned it was unenforceable because of the shear numbers. The second canopy to open doesn’t even have no smoking signs not that it would make any difference. If you think it is bad now just wait until it starts to rain as many people do stand outside in the open. It is safe to say that the canopies serve no purpose apart from offering smokers protection from the elements.
i don’t think all the people dropping off in the bus lane are doing it to avoid payment as some just pull to the left at the first opportunity as that was the side of the drop off zone last week. It will be when you see people waiting to be picked up standing in the bus lane that you will know they are doing so to avoid payment. No doubt the camera car will be moved if it is decided there is more money to be made rather than monitoring the bus stop outside the Holiday Inn.
