Probably a very good idea. Bins can be used to hide bombs.

SOCOG, federal police, etc probably.

>Why was this decision made?

See above, re bombs.

>Where are we going to shove our rubbish!?

On the ground. Let them deal with it [Or so says the pommy station worker 
to someone in this newsgroup a few days ago]

Or take your rubbish with you. It doesn't add much extra weight.

Or take novel approach #7896: don't eat on stations/trains. You have a home 
for that.
