Section 39

(a)

The Railway Department shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by the holder of a platform ticket howsoever caused.

(b)

Platform tickets are not transferable; they are available for one hour from the time of issue, and must be produced and surrendered when required.

(d)

The Railway Department reserves the right to refuse to admit the holder of a platform ticket to any platform or to require him to leave any platform or other railway premises in any circumstances. In such circumstances the Railway Department will refund the price of such ticket, and such person shall have no claim of any kind whatsoever upon the Railway Department in connection therewith.

(e)

No refunds (except in the circumstances mentioned in paragraph (d) of this rule) will be made on unused platform tickets.
