A TRAIN station kiosk operator says he is facing “ruin” after discovering his platform plot has been put up sale.

Mustapha Jamaleddine has sold coffee, tea and biscuits at Hampstead Heath overground station for four years. 

The lease has expired and London Overground is looking for a new operator who will pay a far higher rent.

Mr Jamaleddine, 47, said: “What I know in this life is that the big fish always eat the small fish. There is nothing I can do.”

London Overground said it was advertising the “catering kiosk opportunity” along with 15 others on the railway network. 

The listing says: “Interested parties must provide their own kiosk which is expected to be of a high quality.”
