Absolutely correct, but as a reminder the guidance changes next Monday (March 8th)I fully agree.
At present while in lockdown the Government message is "....stay at home...". Only go outside for shopping, exercise, medical reasons, etc.
I cannot see how trainspotting fits into any of these categories permitting you to be outside.
with 'exercise' replaced by 'outdoor recreation' and also permits for the first time this
year meeting up outdoors with one person not from your household or bubble.
'Outdoor recreation' is not specifically defined, as it encompasses anything you can
do outdoors on your own, with a friend or in a family group, including having a picnic,
sunbathing, trainspotting, birdwatching, and so on...
Of course the big problem is that some police/rail staff/council Covid 'wardens' won't be
briefed about the change from exercise to outdoor recreation (or won't care) and may still
attempt to harass the public and/or issue fines.
