This should make things much clearer!

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 contactus@twmetro.co.uk
For film and media requests, contact Jenni Duncan jenni.duncan@twmetro.co.uk
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
