You would need to check with the station staff, but I think you might possibly be OK at the extreme ends of the platforms. Anywhere near the middle of the platforms, and a tripod would be a trip hazard on what is a very busy station.
I've seen enthusiasts with tripods there before and platform wise, I suggest the far end of platform 2 (towards Brum/Cov). The station staff are all very friendly and I doubt you'll have a problem.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
