I expect that open platforms would be a far greater risk nowadays,
with drivers effectively required to avoid letting people get on or

Are all stops request stops now? I know there was a consultation on
this (to which I didn't respond, grrr) but is this now official
policy, or just your interpretation of what happens in reality?
