I look at photos on Flickr under the search of 'Park Lane Interchange, Sunderland' and I see photographs from some of the more highly respected enthusiasts who have been taking photographs from years - some even being on said middle island.
I may be wrong in suggesting this, but I've always thought the only place you were allowed to take photographs at was the 'entrance' to Park Lane - next to Stockton Road? Also at Cowan Terrace if you want to be picky, but that's not really inside of the bus station.
Plenty of photographs online which aren't at either of those locations (many of which are indeed from myself, so I'm not throwing digs at anyone).
I'm not throwing digs either, just saw that pic then noticed what he said on here
I'd say Cowan Terrace is picky, as long as your on the actual pedestrian paths where people walk and off the road, no harm really. Same with the Stockton Road bit.I've not been told where or where not to stand, so I'd say what I'm doing is fine/common sense!

Haha yeah, think we've all had moments of quickly grabbing a shot where it feels a bit awkward, thinking to yourself 'should I be doing this?!'
