Default Time for Zero Tolerance?

The whole of Stratford station comes under the control of LUL now hence the
ignored no smoking signs on the high level section.

However, I would assume those with existing leases on the premises still
have the right to sell alcohol. I do know that cigarettes cannot be sold on
LUL stations anymore except by those with older leases.

Has LUL ever given notice under section 4.2 that intoxicating liquor
IS prohibited?


Section 4.2 doens't actually ban having intoxicating liquor per se:


4.2 "Where reasonable notice is, or has been given prohibiting
intoxicating liquor on any train service, no person shall have any
intoxicating liquor with him on it, or attempt to enter such train
with intoxicating liquor with him. "


As part of the Straford Concourse works we put in new lifts to the high
level platforms. I was amazed to discover that you could actually buy
beer at the refreshment place on the platform. Yes, I know that the
high level bit is not run by LUL but it is served by the Central Line.
We used part of the beer cellar to put the lift in and the access to it
is through the lift when its at the bottom position.

So now you know where those doors lead to.
