Coin-operated lockers are commonplace in commuter stations - this is no different. Your argument seems like a problem specific to the UK, or other countries with such draconian laws.

I don't think it relates to law, just common-sense after decades of terrorist attacks in London.

In this case, GO Transit runs a commuter rail network (on the surface) so underground bombings shouldn't be a concern.

OK - we have left luggage in large train stations but all bags are subject to security inspections. They have to go through a TSA body scan ;)
