Smoke free stations from 1 July
FROM July 1M smoking will no longer be allowed on any railway stations across Britain, including your Thame and Haddenham Parkway.
From 0600 am July 01, government legislation prohibiting smoking in public places in England comes into effect. This will mean that passengers will be unable to smoke on all station concourses, ticket halls, platforms – covered and uncovered – and all footbridges at station premises.
The ban also affects railway offices, station offices, canteens and all workplaces which are covered by the legislation. However, smoking will still be permitted on most station forecourts and in (uncovered) station car parks.
No Smoking areas will be clearly signed and will include booking halls, platforms, footbridges, subways and lifts.
The existing ban on smoking on trains and London Underground managed stations will continue.
