| Tube user hit with £558 court penalty for rollerskating into Whitechapel Station Posted by infoman at 05:25, 27th October 2025 |     |
A man has been fined more than £500 for entering a tube staton on rollerskates.
John Cejas rolled into Whitechapel Station in Tower Hamlets, east London and skated through the barriers at around 12.30pm on July 11 this year.
He was pulled up by station staff who said he had breached Underground rules forbidding all wheeled vehicles within stations and onboard trains.
TfL proceeded to prosecute Cejas in September for being in breach of Byelaw 15, which states that all passengers must enter the network on foot
Sophie Taylorson, a TfL official, told a magistrates court she observed Cejas arrive at the station with roller skates on his feet.
She said Cejas, of Manor Park in east London, handed over his details when asked.
Cejas, 27, did not enter a plea, and was handed a fine of £220 on top of £250 in costs, as well as an £88 victim surcharge, coming to £558 in total

Doesn't that mean that wheelchair users are forbidden??
