    I think it is quite reasonable that a railway places limits on staff (paid or volunteer) sharing photos where those photos are taken from an area of privilege, i.e. from a viewpoint not open to the public. As an example not related to this...

    Harry, it's time you stopped such trivialities as preparing for a gala, testing and repairing visiting engines, maintaining and repairing the home fleet so a service can be run and got down to the really serious issue of satisfying the idle...
