There is no public right of way simply because you are outside the 
ticket line.  Access is generally "permissive".  In fact, a number of 
big stations now have notices about "Withdrawal of Implied Permission", 
e.g. 
<http://www.london-se1.co.uk/news/imageuploads/1388775198_80.177.117.97.jpg>, 
which clearly indicate that the operator thinks that access is only 
permissive.

There may be cases where a public right of way does pass through a 
station, but that will generally be a narrow corridor, not the whole 
concourse.
