Thank you for your e-mail which has been forwarded to me as the person
within Nexus responsible for responding to FOI requests. First of all can
I apologise for the delay In responding to your request.

I can confirm that all bus stations within the ownership of Nexus fall

within the wider Metro Interchanges. Any bus stations outside of Metro

Interchanges are not owned by Nexus.


With that in mind, I would  refer you to the Nexus website ‘Guide to
Metro’ section which has a specific section relating to photography and is
applicable to Metro Interchanges. I have replicated this below for ease of
reference.

In respect of photographing buses, Nexus does not operate bus services and
you should contact the operator of any buses you wish to photograph.  You
may find further information on the Operators’ website within their
Passenger Charter/Conditions of Carriage.

Photography
Metro regularly receives requests for filming and photography and they can
often vary from film production companies to local railway enthusiasts.
Each request will be considered on its own merits and an application form
will need to be completed in all cases.  If you are filming on behalf of a
company/organisation then procedures are detailed below.  If you are
amateur photographer then some of the procedures may be waived.  It is
imperative that in all instances a safety briefing is conducted prior to
any attendance on Metro premises as we need to ensure your safety as well
as the travelling passengers.  Please follow the guidelines below:
•       Permission to film or take photographs on Metro must be obtained
in writing from the Metro Communications department
•       Wherever possible we will try to accommodate any filming and photo
requests
•       To request photography permission contact the Customer Relations
team on 0191 203 3199 or email [email address]
•       For film and media requests, contact Jenni Duncan
[email address]
•       Two weeks notice is required so we can arrange for a Metro
representative to be present
•       Filming times are normally limited to off peak periods,
Monday-Friday 9.30am-4.30pm. Evenings and weekends will depend on staff
availability
•       Flash photography is NOT permitted on Metro platforms when trains
are approaching, for safety reasons


Yours Faithfully
