91101 waits departure time at London Kings Cross with 1D32 20:33 London Kings Cross - Leeds on the evening of the 21st April 2023
Nice to see the Network Rail Nazi gestapo officers were on duty at Kings Cross last night & despite them being ever so busy they found the time in their busy schedule to come & hassle me for using a tripod. No trains were in platforms 0 & 1, no one else on the platform & I'm well behind (in this instance) the yellow tactile paving slabs. Yet apparently my tripod was a danger to myself, the non existent crowds on the platform & the railway in general. I shake my head in disbelief at these cretins, Network Rail & at this H&S obsessed country we've become. Also according to these Nazi's, tripods are banned from Kings Cross & from all stations up & down the country. An argument ensued & in the end I firmly but politely told them I don't care what you say you won't be stopping me. Thankfully I'd already got what I wanted anyway. God only knows how these arseholes would have coped with the crowds, cameras, flashes & tripods when 55022 arrived back in January 1982 & just like last night I'd wager no one got injured or died. Bubblewrap Britain in 2023, it really is depressing.
