[edit] "No photography"

There were signs at the Heathrow Express side, at the entrance to the actual platforms, you know where the trolley barriers are. It said "No bikes, no photography, no smoking". In doubt, it was near the Heathrow Express sign in the Gallery, same side of the glass wall. Note that at Central station, the sign did say "No flash photography"! And yet an employee told me off, back in January! Still I did manage to take some pics at the platform before she approached me. Anyway, User:Adambro beat me to the relevant shot at T5!

As for the Tube side, I made a point of asking if I was allowed, as there were no signs. So the guy at the gate said OK, but he checked with the guy at the Info desk, he said no, but they allowed me to take the Roundel, which was the bare minimum I wanted! best, Sunil060902 (talk) 03:25, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Incidentally the only other places where I have been challenged are Blackfriars Mainline on a Friday morning, and South Woodford (way out in the sticks I know) during midweek off-peak within the last few months. Contrast that with the run-up to the closure of the East London, when a driver spotted me taking pics and actually invited me into the cab when he went through the Thames Tunnel (too dark for pics though!)! best, Sunil060902 (talk) 03:44, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
