2. No person will be admitted to the booking-office
   at any station whilst the door is closed for making up
   and despatching any train; and no person will be
   allowed in or upon any carriage used on the railway,
   without first having paid the fare, and obtained a
   ticket, except in the case of a passenger joining the
   train at a flag-station.

3. Tickets will be issued conditionally-that is to say,
   in case there shall be room in the train for all the pas-
   sengers to whom tickets shall have been issued. If
   there shall not be room for all such passengers the
   holders of periodical tickets shall have priority over
   holders of return and single tickets, and the fare will
   be returned, on application to the Stationmaster, to
   the holders of such return and single tickets as shall
   be unable to obtain seats.

4. No person shall travel or attempt to travel in or
   upon any carriage on the railway without having pre-
   viously paid the proper fare, and with intent to evade
   payment thereof.

5. No person having paid the fare for a certain
   distance shall knowingly and wilfully proceed in any
   such carriage beyond such distance without previously
   paying the additional fare for the additional distance.

6. Every person, on arriving at the point to which
   the fare has been paid, shall quit such carriage.

7. Every passenger, on arriving at the station for
   which a ticket has been taken by such passenger, or to
   or from which such passenger may hold a periodical
   ticket, shall leave the train, and quit the station and
   premises of the railway, and no person shall loiter
   about the premises of the railway.

8. Each passenger who has paid his fare and has re-
   ceived a ticket shall produce such ticket whenever re-
   quired so to do by any Stationmaster or person.
   authorized by a Stationmaster, or by the Guard in
   charge of the train, or, if it be a return or a season.
   ticket, shall give the same up to be marked or examined.
   when required, and shall deliver up any ticket on the
   demand of any such Stationmaster, person, or Guard.

9. Any passenger joining a train at a booking-station
   without having previously provided himself with a
   ticket shall on demand by any such Stationmaster,
   person, or Guard as aforesaid, pay one shilling in
   addition to the ordinary fare.

10. Passengers joining the train at flag-stations will
    be booked by the Guard to the first booking-station at
    which the train stops and will there rebook to destina-
    tion.

11. No male passenger shall enter or remain in any
    waiting-room or carriage set apart for the accommo-
    dation of females.
