You don't need me to tell you what he's told you is a load of tosh though. It's private property yes, but as a GNE employee, he has no authority outside of the bus station. I don't actually think there's such thing as a publicly listed building either... suggest you just drop GNE an email about it.

I that's the one, to be fair he was Technically in the Bus Station as shouted over from the Paved Section on the 4/8 and X1 Stand, whereas I was on the Ramp taking a quick Photo before going into The Galleries for a few bits and bobs for my Mother, I don't think emailing GNE would garner much of a response from what was said in my Previous Post.

Just a quick Question and I am not entirely sure how word this.

Is there anyway in which we as Enthusiasts other than by Email or Phone, Talk to Nexus and GNE etc i.e. in a Face 2 Face Discussion on this Topic, to therefore iron out our Differences in Opinion on the Matter etc and explain the problems we have encountered in recent months in Relation to Transport Photography in Bus Stations etc, And then discuss how to rectify the problem going forward so that everyone is Happy.

I have quite a few Friends outside the Bus Spotting Community who like to take Photographs of Buildings such as the Baltic and the Bridges etc on Newcastle/Gateshead Quayside and they have no Problems at all, You often see Tourists in Newcastle particularly around Haymarket taking Photos of the Buildings in the Area with no Problems, Yet we take a few Photos of Buses and we get called Terrorists and god knows what else, and we are constantly met with a Confrontation by some Jobsworth who likes to throw his/her Authority about, as I said about I think this issue needs rectifying before it gets even worse than what it already is.

Moving on there is such a thing as Publicly Listed Buildings - http://www.fmb.org.uk/help-with-red-tape...buildings/
I believe Durham House is a Grade II Listed Building, Plus it has a Signal Mast on the Roof for the Surrounding Area, so carry out Repairs you'd need to Apply for Permission to carry out any work that needed to be Done, Cheviot House which has been Knocked Down, the Old Dentist, The Job Centre and the other Building next to it are all Listed Buildings also.
