\"London<\/img>Transport officials have been criticised for banning a photographer from taking pictures on buses, or inside bus shelters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The apparent policy was contained in a letter sent to a reader of Buses<\/em> magazine, details of which are published in its March issue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the letter, Transport for London (TfL) customer service advisor Miranda Crabtree is quoted as telling the unnamed enthusiast that ?photography is recommended and acceptable? when taken from a public place.<\/p>\n

However, Crabtree went on to say that photography is forbidden on TfL, or bus operator-owned, premises without prior permission.<\/p>\n

She added that this includes photographs taken ‘inside buses’ and ‘bus shelters’.<\/p>\n

In response to the furore, a TfL spokesman told Amateur Photographer<\/em> that the advice was a mistake: ?The information given was incorrect. Clearly, we would not want to stop people taking pictures in bus shelters or on buses.?<\/p>\n

Dismissing the matter as a ?storm in a teacup?, the spokesman said Crabtree no longer works at TfL, though her departure was not the result of the advice given.<\/p>\n

However, the spokesman stressed that people who want to take photos on TfL-owned bus stations, garages and bus stands, over a prolonged period, must seek prior permission from a ‘bus controller’ or other staff member.<\/p>\n

A ?quick-snap? would be acceptable, he claimed.<\/p>\n

TfL has pledged to write to the bus enthusiast concerned, to put them in the picture.<\/p>\n
