Train-spotting in the UK.

I just popped Train-spotting into Google to look and see what was going on back home, I found a 2003 report that mentioned that taking pictures of trains or jotting down the numbers could lead to a 1,000 Pound fine.

Did this realy happen?, was anyone ever fined?, and it seems the law must have been changed because there seems to be plenty of modern train pictures in magazines and on websites such as this.

I understand that things have changed since terrorism but just how much?, we in Oz have trouble photographing trains at our Dockyards and if caught Security Officers will make the photographer delete the pictures from his camera, we used to be able to get close to ships and get some great pictures but now everything has been fenced off.

David.
