My point is that if photography isn't allowed without prior permission then it should be clearly indicated where possible. If enthusiasts are approached about needing permission to take photographs of buses/trains in a bus/train station then so should people who are taking "selfies" because that is also photography

Out of interest has anyone ever approached Merseytravel or TFGM and asked what thier feelings are about enthusiasts taking photos from within thier bus stations - surly if it's a 'sorry no' then some kind of explanation as to why would suffice, but as you rightly say if it's a major issue then perhaps signs should be put up stating it.

I think generally a lot of people don't understand bus/train/tram enthusiasts whether it be filming, taking photos or simply jotting down fleet numbers some people just assume your up to no good, which is quite sad given that we carnt move for being watched by CCTV cameras yet when someone's innocently taking photos of buses their either planning an act of terrorism or a pervet taking photos of school buses.
