So it’s not just the railway enthusiasts who are under threat, anyone taking a photo which happens to have a railway bridge in it is vulnerable.

On a similar theme, someone taking a picture of a model locomotive at my club got an ear-bashing from the mother of a child who happened to be in the proximity. Since it was a digital camera, the peace was kept by deleting the offending photo and taking another, but if it had been a film camera the situation would have been far more fraught.

It seems anyone wielding a camera is a threat to someone. How long before carrying a mobile phone with a camera in becomes a public order offence?
