Default London Bridge waiting rooms?

In message , at 22:37:47 on Sun, 28

It also says it has a
'Women-Only Waiting Room' on 'Platforms 1 and 2; Platforms 3 and 4.'


What a bizarre notion. How is it enforced? Doesn't the waiting room
provision on platforms 3 & 4 breach the sex discrimination act?


It's a long standing tradition on the railways - I'm utterly astonished
you didn't know that. As for sex discrimination, is it against the law
to purport to stop a man using the Ladies toilet, and how is that
enforced?
