    As a Dutch traindriver I say this so called manager must be sent home permantly! This behaviour of station personal won't be tolerated by train loving enthousiasts like ourselves.
    You and all other people in your film are an example of how we get along with each other.
    Trainspotters like yourself will always get my approval. I will smile, wave, talk and even use my Typhoon to you 💪

      ​@D.C.009. A bunch of them work for the rail industry. I've had to deal with people like that a few times, and got prosecuted once since I travelled outside of the London metro area with my Oyster Card. When the Judge saw that the overground staff had printed me a recite with directions that didn't clarify where the metro zone ended, the case was dropped.

He's completely right in what he says i don't think you have to ask a permission to film trains I don't even know why you'd want to film trains, but still.....

      The difficulty with this scenario is that Wembley Central has a unique arrangement, where access to the main line platforms are restricted, and you can only access the platforms when there is a train arriving in, only to catch that train. If you stick around after that train has left, they will get annoyed about it.
      It is a shame that they have this arrangement now, as Wembley Central is one of the best places to see a 37 due to the bridge above creating an enclosed space where it passes.

I am on holiday in Japan at the moment and I had an opportunity to go see the phantom shinkansen Dr. Yellow, and when I thought about how much fun you have spotting trains I jumped at the opportunity. It took a lot of effort to be there at the right time as the timetable is top secret, my brother in law helped with his old train spotters friends on Twitter to find the time. Seeing it pull up to the station was an experience I will never forget.

    Keep on doing the videos mate. Ignore that jerk. You did nothing wrong. I am an ex-Railway man myself and I would have had words with him if I had been there. Its pricks like him that causes these unnecessary rifts. Keep on being positive buddy.

    You're supposed to notify station staff if you go to a station to photograph trains, NOT 'ask permission' as it's not that Sir Topham Hatt's property, it's Network Rail's & they give permission in their rules for photography at stations. If you're there to get off one train & onto another, as you were Francis and happen to hold your camera while there, you don't need to tell anyone, otherwise anyone carrying a camera would have to tell staff every time they wanted to change trains. I might try to find that chap the next time I'm at Wembley Central & ask his permission to change trains, especially as I own a camera. Maybe his managers will have educated him by then?
