(23 May 2015, 3:28 pm)Jimmi Went out for a shot of ANE 1414 earlier and realised that a Northern Rail train would be passing through a few minutes later so I decided to get a shot. This was the result.
Northern Rail: 142067 by Jimmi's Bus Photos, on Flickr
Thought about cropping it down so we could just see the train but I thought this looked nicer.
What does everybody think?

If you are planning on taking Photos at The Galleries then I would suggest not to bother, basically to take Photos you have to go to the following Locations, the Roundabout at the Junction exiting The Galleries if you are to head towards Lambton/Oxclose or onto the Motorway, Opposite exit if you were head towards Albany on the 4 and the Junction next to Glebe/Walk In Centre.
I have been caught twice in the last week, at Sainsburys Car Park Bus Link and on the Grass Verge just down from the Bus Station as if you were entering/exiting the Interchange coming from Lambton etc, both times I was caught on CCTV and a Security Guard was sent to tell me to stop taking Photos on Private Land.
I was informed if I wanted to take Photos I would have to go into The Galleries Management Suite which located Upstairs in The Galleries near Natwest & Halifax, to ask for permission to take Photos on there Property, otherwise if I didnt Management would call the Police and I would likely be Arrested and Forced into Deleting my Photos, or having Camera taken off me altogether.

Weird thing is the Bus Station Management and the Security Guards all dead canny at The Galleries, and you can have a civilised conversation without confrontation as I have done on Numerous Occasions when they have came to tell me I cant take photos, they also think that the No Photography Rule is stupid and fully understand that we not causing any harm in what we are doing either, they simply just do there Jobs in a calm and professional manner, had a nice 10 Minute conversation with the Guard who came to speak to me this afternoon about Photography and the Laws etc, unlike those Jobsworths at Nexus who immediately insult you by calling you a Terrorist in front of others in Public with zero shame or remorse at all.

(30 Jun 2015, 5:06 pm)Malarkey And also do nothing about e-cigarette smokers smoking inside the Bus Station etc either, seen loads people doing it as of late when passing through various Interchanges across the region.

(30 Jun 2015, 5:11 pm)aureolin Aye, they're not interested. I've been told at Gateshead for having my camera out (but not using it), and when I've asked what they're doing about the smokers, apparently that's none of my business...
It may be worth someone making an appointment with Galleries management to see if they'll come to some level of common sense. Perhaps it's just a misunderstanding on their part? Having said that like, we tried similar with Nexus, and they had said they were going to review the policy in the near future - something we probably need to follow up on actually.

(30 Jun 2015, 4:05 pm)MrFozz Taking your camera would be really harsh like...
What is the worst that can happen really, an exclusion order/ASBO banning you from there property

Let's say Nexus/Galleries Staff get arsey with you and call the Police, and you be an arse to the police, could the police be arses themselves and make you stop taking pictures by using the prevention of terrorism act to make someone stand down...
That must be a record for the use of the word arse in reply
(30 Jun 2015, 9:16 pm)LeeCalder Well me and Gary Devlin got told to stop taking photos near (Not on NEXUS property) Haymarket because of the terrorism threat.

Always stand your ground, but its pointless being abusive or abrupt with them, as it immediately puts you in the wrong.
If they're suggesting that you can't have a camera on a public footpath, near Haymarket, for that reason, then you need to urge them to contact the relevant authorities with their concerns.
Basically - don't let someone scaremongering you with something that's in the spotlight, when you're perfectly within your right to be there. Just be polite and accommodating when discussing the matter.

(30 Jun 2015, 9:44 pm)LeeCalder I'm always polite too the staff because at the end of the day they are just doing their job, but, some of them do it in the wrong manner.When approached, knock your camera quickly into video recording mode and record it. That way as long as you remain polite (which I've no doubt you do!), you can send the footage in for complaint.
He said something too us like " You two are going to have too move from here" too which I asked why and he said something like "Well the threat of terrorism is high"
Too which I replied "Sir, do I look like a terrorist?" He said no and moved on.
Victory claimed.
