Taking pictures at railway stations

19/03/2009 by admin.

The current tiff between Virgin and the train spotter who was taking a video of a train at Macclesfield station without permission reminds me of a frustrating incident back in the early days of Railtrack.

I spotted a sign on a lift shaft at Manchester Piccadilly advertising it as a “retail opportunity”. Excited, I asked the picture desk to send a photographer…who promptly asked permission and guess what?

Well, of course, Railtrack promptly took the notice down!
