Whilst waiting for a 1967ts train at Brixton for 30 minutes, the station supervisor made an announcement asking us to go to the station supervisors office due to photography. We didnt because we wernt taking photographs, just holding cameras. Then he came down onto the platform with another member of staff and asked us what we were doing. My reply was "Waiting for an old train", then he asked why. My response was "To get on it".
Then he asks us to leave the station, when I ask why we have to leave the station he replies with "I dont have to give you a reason". Then one of the other guys who was with me asked him wether he was going to answer my question or not, so then he says "Are you refusing to leave the station?" Then asks the other member of staff to get the BTP. I overheard the word "Trespassing" whilst the other member of staff was on the information point (He was contacting the control room I guess). Station Supervisor waits on the platform for about 10mins, with the other member of staff talking to various drivers etc. Then walks off back to his offce with the other member of staff. We waited for another 30mins and got news there were no 67's out and yet no BTP!
So upon the news of no 67's out we made our way!

Obviously out to make a name for himself... As long as you'd had a ticket or validated oyster, I can't see what his problem was. I'm sure he would have known about the upcoming 67ts tour on that day!

You were hardly "trespassing"... Who told you that there were no 67s out?

I thought you were allowed to take pictures barring no flash photography and no tripods... although, I would argue that if a member of staff is telling you to leave, and you refuse then they are probably well within their rights to get the police involved.

@artery Train Op: I had a 1-6 travelcard, and so did the others. He has certainly made a name for himself, but not a good one!
@bioluminescence: We asked a driver how many were out

I think he expected us to leave as soon as Police was mentioned

I hope you have complained to TfL about the poor customer service you received. I get the impression that that form of wording will have more of an impact than many other things that should carry more weight.
