Push scooter legality

[jakesmith]

I was just told by a train guard that I have broken the law by using my push micro scooter on a railway platform.

Arguements aside about the safety of this and whether someone of my age should use such a method of transport, can anyone clarify the legal status on this very serious matter?

Probably.

Same reason that you can't cycle.

Some stations are quiet. Some are busy with people with children, old people with luggage and trains that don't have very good stopping distances. So legal or not legal, it's probably sensible to reduce risk and have people walk on stations.
