    It's not just you, the man is a nuisance. I was at a Swanage Railway steam gala and happened to be at Corfe Castle station. He was organising a group of military personnel into position for his 'scoop of the day'. The way that he spoke to the group as he ordered them into position was downright rude. I felt that he was aragant and an embarrassment to the railway. [BJ]

    Andrew is the Swanage Railways official Photographer. He has a lineside permit for the entire Railway. Anyone who goes trackside is required to wear high visibility clothing, as do P way and S&T staff, I think that you will find that the same applies on all Heritage Railways.
    I assume that you are referring to the picture of the T3 and Brake van taken in the RRI. Perhaps I am not so eagle eyed, but TBH it could be any member of staff.
    Over the years, Andrew has taken photographs of me during various signalling duties and I have on every occasion been sent copies.
    BTW I did have a day photographing the Diesel Gala and Andrew appears in one of my photo's So what?
