How did you manage to shoot the youtube video of your day then?:-

Did anyone witness any of your claims, as in being thrown out of the 1st class lounge, and not having your head out of the window on a moving train. What the video does show as well is that weather was diabolical, and with you keep opening the door intro the carriage ( Ok it was an air operated door) , with the outer door window open both sides, did it not occur that your shouting and general behaviour was causing problems with those First Class passengers who had paid a lot of dosh to be allowed to work en-route.
I've always found the staff on Coventry extremely helpful, so I took a trip there on Wednesday last. I spent five hours fotting off the ends of platforms, without a single problem, I shot thru the signals, the station itself, I went into the customer place on platform 1 with the camera and huge lens around my neck, and asked lots of crank questions about 5Z27 , all were answered by extremely obliging staff, without any hassle at all. I also spoke to the other spotters on the platform, 'the regulars' , if they knew of what had happened. NOT ONE was happy with your behaviour , and it was expressed that you were not 'giving the hobby a good image'- their words. One said you should have been 'chucked off'. No one said that it was the fault of platform staff, or 'security staff'.
Hence the reason I took the time to view each of the links in your posts and on your sites, and why I posted the previous post.
There was a big difference with what you posted , and what others said- without exception.
