I had to take this at waist level using the flip-out screen facing upwards as a roving Network Rail employee had just told us that we were not allowed to take photographs on the station without first signing in. Now, I normally bristle when challenged on stations about such matters but as he was absolutely correct in his explanation and actually very helpful about it I could not argue. However, if he had said (as is all too common, unfortunately,) 'you are not allowed to take pictures on stations' then I would have challenged him.
