Can anyone share the document here where it was mentioned photography/videography is allowed at stations pls?
Sharing an experience of mine:

I was standing behind yellow line and capturing a video of JSME TBM SF,after which one RPF madam came and told "delete it" as you need GM permission.I explained that this is for non commercial purpose (blog) and then she says it's...

dangerous!!!

I was clearly standing behind yellow line,which was seen in the video still she insisted to delete it!!!!!

I told her even at MS I've captured in front of RPF ,they didn't have any problem,upon which they spoke to her senior and they gave all silly excuses like the loco number coach number can be misused , we can track your IP address etc etc etc.....
Then they're like PPL do stunts selfies which is dangerous to which I said I'm aware of this and take safely!!!!!!
Then they told if you're capturing trains skipping do it from FOB not platform as it's 'dangerous'!!!😂

I mean people are LITERALLY CROSSING THE TRACKS in front of train right in front of you and taking the video safely is the problem?????

BTW,I had valid PF ticket which I showed.


Then after seeing I was aware of the rules and spoke confidently and politely,they said just delete it and went away!!
It looks like they took it for granted and told to delete,I spoke about the rules correctly to which they tried to make excuses and just left after that!

Just to not be questioned more
The other captures were done from FOB😂
