7. Platform Tickets.

8. At such stations and at such times as the Department may determine,
   tickets for admission to the railway-station platform will be issued at a charge of
   3d. each; but the Department reserves to itself the right to limit the number
   of such tickets which shall be issued and to decline to issue such tickets on any
   day or in connection with any train. Platform season tickets, at a charge of
   4s. per quarter, may be issued at and in respect of such stations as may be
   determined by the Department. Such tickets shall confer the same (but no
   further) right of entry to the station platform as ordinary platform tickets, and
   shall not confer any right on the holder to be admitted to the platform when the
   same is absolutely closed, or whenever it is determined by the Department,
   before such person presents himself for entry on any day in connection with any
   train, that no further persons shall be admitted to the platform. Not more than
   one person shall be allowed on the platform at any one time on or in respect of
   any platform season ticket.

9. Platform ordinary and season tickets are not transferable; provided,
   however, that any platform season ticket taken out by and in the name of any
   business person, firm, or company may be used by any employee of such person,
   firm, or company to enable such employee to gain access to the platform bona
   fide for the purposes of the business of the person, firm, or company employing
   him.

10. Reserved Carriages.

11. Except as otherwise specified, the charge for a reserved (six-passenger)
    compartment will be as for six first-class ordinary fares (Regulation 2) computed
    on the mileage from the station at which the compartment is reserved to the
    station up to which it is reserved.
