    How did you get interested in railways?

    If you used to spend all your time at York, then our paths must have crossed several times, I was always at York every Saturday. There was a large group of us at that time always went on platform 14.

    Photography in Austria/OBB

    Does anyone know about the new security regulations in Austria regarding taking pictures on railway stations. Apparently the security threat has reached OBB, and a permit has to be obtained. I have tried to get more details from them, but nothing as yet.

    When I was in Barcelona last year, there was a man on one of the stations telling everyone with a camera, even tourists, that no photography was allowed.
