More details from petition creator

The “Guidelines for Rail Enthusiasts” promoted by the Association of Train Operating Companies, Network Rail and the British Transport Police require enthusiasts to “sign in” before spending leisure time at railway stations.

These guidelines, which place the onus on the individual to prove that he or she is not a threat rather than on railway professionals to prove he or she is, have led to considerable conflict between railway enthusiasts and often poorly trained staff, take little account of the behaviour of enthusiasts, are highly unlikely to offer any real protection against terrorism and only serve to alienate the industry’s natural allies.
