BVE: Information required

[Scouser]

Hi All

Through this forum I have realised that a lot of you are far more experienced in matters relating to the rail networks than myself, in fact some of you obviously work for various rail companies.

What I need to know is who do I contact regarding permission to take photographs on railway property. In particular, I would like to be able to photograph Frinton station, part of the new One Great Eastern network, and the only way to get the pictures I require are from the now disused platform at Frinton station. As the foorbridge is no longer in use, this means crossing the tracks.

Do any of you know the procedure for obtaining permission to do this, or who I should contact to obtain such permission?

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Derek

RE: Information required

Right, I dont work for the railways, but my Father does! So heres a best guess.

The best way is to be nice to the people in question! So write a letter to both the Duty Station Manager at Frinton station, and to One Great Easterns Customer Service Centre, explaining exactly what it is that you want to do, and the assistance, if any, that you will need (in terms of crossing the line, etc.). I cant find the address for Frinton Station, as much as I try, but heres One Great Eastern's Customer Service Centre address:

One Great Eastern Customer Service Centre
North Station
Colchester
Essex
C01 1XD

Good luck, and let us know how you get on!
If anyone else can add/amend this, then feel free!

RE: Information required

Thanks for the reply, apologies for the late acknowledgement of this as in all the posting about secret societies and people jumping ship, I missed it.

I will take your advice and contact One at Colchester as well as Frinton station.

If I get any response from them I will let you know.

Thanks again

Regards

Derek
