at Nottingham they don't use the forecourt (the entrances and
exits are a bit tight, as well as being full of cars and taxis all the
time). They wait in the overflow taxi-rank down the side of the station.
Which is an ordinary public road.
If so its owners have the right to waive or change the restrictions if
they wish.
They can't waive no-waiting zones on public roads.
No, but the Local Authority can. Especially if the rail people ask
them to, for a good reason.
Doesn't that involve posting signage to cancel out the "No stopping
except Taxis"? That bit of road is currently undergoing remodelling, and
so there are understandable long term changes to the arrangements - I
doubt the LA will pass a temporary TRO for one Sunday afternoon.
Common sense is applied.
