No person shall open a barrier or any other gate on the railway except where there is a notice indicating that it may be used by him or with permission from an authorised person.
At my local station there are two ways of getting to platform 2. Going through the ticket office onto platform 1 then using the pedestrian overbridge. Or going under the line on the road and through a gate onto the platform. Since I buy my tickets in advance I usually take the second option since it is slightly less energetic
But the gate has no notice on it and there is rarely an authorised person around to give permission. So should I give myself up to BT police for repeated violations of the byelaw? And what punishment can I expect?
