This is an issue that I've raised with the railway several times before. For a very long time now there has been a Railway by law which prevents the riding of bikes or the use of rollerskates/skateboards on platforms. When I've politely pointed this out to people the usual response is, "where does it say that then ?"
I believe that there should be signs which clearly state that it is an offence (and dangerous) to do so.
I just tell them that if they fall onto the live rail whilst wrapped round a metal bike they are going to fry. In the time that it takes to get the traction current turned off they'll have turned into a hog roast. It sometimes gets a response.
