A man in London has been fined a total of around €650 (£558) after entering Whitechapel tube station with "skates" on his feet.

John Cejas, 27, was seen by Transport for London (TfL) staff driving through barriers, breaking the rule that prohibits any wheeled vehicles from stations or trains.


He was identified by officials and agreed to provide his details.

TfL rules prohibit the use of bicycles, roller skates, scooters and hoverboards on tube spaces.

His case was one of more than hundreds of similar proceedings that TfL has taken against rule breakers. /Telegraph/
