They take the p*ss these lot, BTP get all worked up thinking you could be a terrorist or something so when you do go and ask for a pass you dont get one!
Really gets me angry because im also a teenager, 6ft 3 and certainly dont look my age. Staff wether its on the platform or on trains are always turning their noses up, and having to show my under 16 ID EVERYTIME ticket checks take place or I pass through barriers, even then they think its fake.
Sorry to rant but I really get angry on this subject. NR/BTP need to sort something out.
Personally I have no problems with spotters/enthusiasts on the station, providing they don't start trespassing, I've had many an argument with people who go well beyond signage/lines etc. where they shouldn't be " i didn't see the sign and why is the platform so long if you can't go there" its bright f**kin red lol
Also, can i just mention I was at Doncaster last week, taking some photo's etc.. a HST arrives so i go right to the end of the platform and crouch down to get a good photo, with my foot on the white line, a bitchy female platform staff came over and went mental for "being over the line"!!!!
Totally unneccessary
Leeds is a pleasent station, possibly because there is a camera overlooking everywhere so your on CCTV, and I think they start to recognise you when you reappear each time. Ive been photting there for a year now, not once have I had any problems,
Yet!
