I know enthusiasts who have been photographing at Newcastle for years and years and have never had an issue.

That should suffice.

They'll have got their impression within 15 seconds of seeing you all, and the decision would be made not to allow you access before you even opened your mouth.
Perhaps try in no more than pairs next time, or failing that, try not to look like a bunch of radgies.

(17 May 2015, 6:05 pm)Jimmi wrote Has it really changed much as I have not had my current phone long and have only just got round to putting some music on it and I think the Music app is rather basic, nothing special about it just plays music by song, artist etc.
(17 May 2015, 6:07 pm)mb134 wrote No no the app itself hasn't changed very much, just more annoyed at the fact they've dropped the Walkman brand, something that Sony is famous for, and stands out over other phones
(16 May 2015, 9:38 pm)Davie wrote Me, Lee and my friends Anthony & Kailey were denied access to Newcastle Central Station to photograph a class 47 on a rail tour this evening
You can take photographs at stations provided you do not sell them. However, you are not allowed to take photographs of security related equipment, such as CCTV cameras.
Flash photography on platforms is not allowed at any time. It can distract train drivers and train despatch staff and so is potentially very dangerous.
Tripod legs must be kept away from platform edges and behind the yellow lines. On busy stations, you may not be allowed to use a tripod because it could be a dangerous obstruction to passengers.
