Station managers say the end of the platform , which is a level crossing , is "too dangerous" for smokers to congregate at because of heavy traffic.

So they are allowed to smoke on the platform instead.

A council spokeswoman said the platform was exempt from the ban because it was not enclosed enough.

A spokeswoman for Arriva Trains , which operates services into and out of Fishguard , said they had no power to enforce the smoking ban in Fishguard railway station because it is owned by Stena Line.

"It seems that because it is such a busy thoroughfare, smoking on the platform is the lesser of two evils," she said.
