If you go to

you will see people doing silly things at Crewe

The question is raised: why weren't these people arrested by BTP for
taking pictures?

Well, two reasons. 
1. as a professional shoot, they no doubt had the relevant permissions.
2. rail staff and police alike are far too sensible to bother anyone at
Crewe who isn't in the act of bothering someone else.

More importantly, who thought a busy station platform would be a sensible 
location to have people staggering around with bags/cases over their heads?

Of course, if it were at Bank Top and the "Chosen Few" were dancing,
no one would have complained....

I suppose that they got permission to carry out the performance. And I
also suppose the BBC got permission to film the performance and use
for commercial purposes.

Missed the point: the video showed some Normals taking pictures of the
head cases. The Normals should have been abused in the same manner as
trainspotters.

Some daft Virgin redcoat who ranted at me about needing permission for photography when 
I was changing trains, not intending to use the camera which was over my shoulder.
