That station manager could of sorted his attitude out and not be so aggressive. Must of had anger management issues. Well anyway hes been captured and put onto youtube.

So do you need a ticket to get onto the platforms at Milano Centrale? In that case id just find the cheapest.

In July I travel to Italy for the first time and I was wondering how do I go about spotting at the big stations there Milan, Venice, Rome etc. Do I need platform tickets, normal ticket and are staff and police ok with rail enthusiasts there. Seen lots of Italian railway videos on Youtube and...

I went to Paris in 2019 and got a navigo card with a weekly ticket on. Had to take a passport photo and I still have the card. It was 24 euros to use on the whole system for the week and much cheaper than an all zones weekly London ticket.

November last year I got jobsworthed at Paris Gare l'est. Was on the station about 10 minutes and got told in French no filming. Was tricky trying to explain to them using Google translate.

Sorry I didnt know there was another thread on the same subject. I would of thought the big stations would not be a problem cos they have plenty of outdoor space on platforms. Take York for e.g I prefer the southern end of P5/6 loads of space there. We have to get back to a near normal at some...

With lockdown easing further are we now allowed to go spotting at stations again with social distancing and face masks? Have any of the TOC's and Network Rail said anything? Our hobby is actually very covid secure cos its all outdoors whether at stations or not and most of the time small groups...

Yeah trade reception is where you go to and usually there are quite friendly when you go in there.

Last years holiday in Paris I had no bother with SNCF at the stations there now this year I wanna go on holiday to Spain and take on the Spannish railway. Just wondering what are RENFE like with enthusiasts at the stations in Spain.

Whoops I forgot about that. But anyway I suppose il just treat the metro/RER like the tube. and also I meant where on the SNCF stations do I have to ask permission if I have to.

Finally im going to Paris this September. How do I go about getting permission to photo in the terminals and also is it easy to photo on metro/rer i.e not get caught by staff.

Im wondering where do you sign in at London Bridge now a days.
