*does bestest David Attenborough impression* 'another commuter caught snoozing in the wild. This one is described as a lesser spotted labourer. Normally spotted on building sites or greasy spoon cafes, this one is in the hungover position'

Are you allowed to take pictures/images of sleeping passengers and post them on media without there consent?

As far as I am aware - it isn't against the law to do so.
In fact, there is a well known twitter page who does just that, to an audience far larger than NEB's.

They even got a photo of Ed Milliband asleep on the train once.

It's a public place, and there's no expectation of privacy in a public place.

I've often done so!

In fact, I'm waiting for one of you lot to spot me so doing, and take a snap of me for posterity in this thread!

Pretty sure he starred in a popular Netflix series last year.

No different to people taking photos of buses imo. Bus drivers get slated for sticking their fingers up but personally I wouldn't want my face photographed by strangers there either. 

Swings and roundabouts. 

Least this has a bit of a joke about it unlike pictures of the millionth Enviro 400 MMC on the 39 in Newcastle.
