It's electoral rules that no party can campaign on railway property. ^Neil
-
Not electoral rules, railway bylaw. On street fine but flexibly in rain would be nice - seeing your normally flexaible at running trains ;)

Uniformed Govia employees regularly smoke under that canopy
@brightonstation contravening byelaw, don't face on spot fine or arrest by@BTP -
Ah the good old two wrongs make a right argument. Plus snide grassing up of workers.
-
The working environment is probably so bad I can't blame them wanting to distress with a smoke!
-
Do you work for us Leon? ^Neil

Agree re nationalising the dreadful Southern Rail, but is distracting BTP from more pressing concerns a good thing this week?
-
The BTP officer was lovey, other guys were the private security (who to be fair were doing their job) we of course left after a discussion

That's an outrage. Besides which, I doubt
#SouthernFail own the station - likely to be owned by Network Rail, which is a public company. -
That is correct! It is managed by Southern but owned by Network Rail ^AJpic.twitter.com/V0bevWRfoD

Yes although its operated by Southern under licence (only a few big city stations operated by NR), so it was Southern fail who made the call
-
Oh well. They'll be gone before long, Lloyd

There are so many other priorities that BR Police should be involved it other that Commuter displeasure. Get a grip chaps!

Disgusted 2c our police used by private company at their time of 'heightened brand awareness'
#SouthernFail should by rights no longer exist -
They should charge Southern with wasting police time!

@lloyd_rm And you can't make it "public" as you suggest, as it's already in public ownership, following collapse of Railtrack under LabourThanks. Twitter will use this info to make your timeline better. Undo
