Take in a Hasselblad 6x6 or view camera, sheet film and tripod, the sign
says nothing about those, and specifically bans DSLR's for having high
quality sensors, so ANY film camera is fine!

I guess we're supposed to assume you're trying for a joke. A thread about
DSLRs being banned from a British transit station shouldn't be posted to a
DSLR newsgroup??

If you're not joking, I don't know what we're supposed to think. So if that's
the case, please enlighten us.

At least I infer that that's what the article is about. The site refuses to
come up for me.

At a streach it could be that the equipment is banned and not the
photography
accrding to the rather vague and incompadantly phrased notice.
As all it say is that you can;t have the equipment , doens';t meantion
anything about taking
photos so maybe the stance is that this doesn;t belong in photo
groups
only equipment groups.
A friend has suggested that maybe they've found Hobbs End.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobbs_End

Still wouldn't explain the weirdly phrased notice

Came up OK for me.

Now that I finally managed to read the article, I think I see what they're up
to. If people start taking good pictures and showing them around on social
networks, fewer people may be willing to pay £20 to tour the station.

Thank's for the link. This is obviously a museum, not a public train
station...

It is not quite a museum. It is a disused station on a branch of the
Piccadilly Line of London Underground - a "Tube" station.

It is regularly used by makers of films and advertising videos in
order to avoid disrupting the normal daily operations of the London
Underground. A train can be operated in and out of the station
without affecting the rest of the Tube network. Think of it as a very
specialised film studio.

As with several areas of the Underground system that are particularly
interesting or historic, Aldwych station is very occasionally opened
to the public. This is one of those occasions, and it is open daily
for a period of two weeks. During that time, people who have booked
to see it can take a guided tour.

The ban on DSLRs is particularly crass, but I suspect that it was
imposed more out of concern for the intellectual property of the film
makers than for any other reason.

Surely the quality of the sensor is not a big issue for anything posted on
the internet social media sites! Very few are taken with DSLR's anyway.
