An activity is not a licensable activity if it is carried on—
(a)aboard an aircraft, hovercraft or railway vehicle engaged on a journey,
....
(2)For the purposes of subsection (1) the period during which an aircraft, hovercraft, railway vehicle or vessel is engaged on a journey includes—
(a)any period ending with its departure when preparations are being made for the journey, and
(b)any period after its arrival at its destination when it continues to be occupied by those (or any of those) who made the journey (or any part of it).
Is a train 'engaged on a journey' when it stops at an intermediate point?
