Permission was granted as long as I went to the Travel Shop to make them aware that I'm taking photographs. On arrival, I went to the Travel Shop and told them I was taking photos and had permission via phone, I was told that (in a loud and abrupt voice) "Photography is ILLEGAL and not permitted within the Interchange, and that the person who granted you permission was NOT allowed to do so." So I just got some timetables and went to various locations around Sunderland to take photos.
Just goes to show how moronic Nexus' "policy" towards enthusiasts is. Not that anyone has actually seen an official policy! The security at Heworth seem OK with it as of late, and I've not had any grief from them. I was at Gateshead Interchange a number of weeks ago now though, and Dan had barely stepped foot on the pavement, before someone from Nexus was over like a hawk. At the same time though, they're happy enough for smokers to continue, despite all the signs.
