The only restriction is on flash photography.


IMHO, many of them enjoy intimidating passengers in order to feel
powerful.


Too true, especially of cyclists. I had some pretty offensive treatment
from a SWT guard with my bike between Wandsworth Town and Putney.

On the other hand last week there was a SWT guard on the train from
Feltham to Waterloo who kept passengers amused by making humorous
announcements. One of his more serious ones was that he would get
seriously upset if he caught anyone with their feet up on the opposite
seat. He got a rousing cheer at that. When people left they thanked
him. CJB.
