Every photographers nightmare! You stand in postion early at end of platform ready for that
definitive shot - then you are surrounded by 50 schoolkids with their cameras - its OK though because you
can see over their heads - then the signalman comes and stands in front of you to exchange token with driver
and you`re well and truly stuck - shame would have been a great shot on my last day of hol!
