What they have told you is absolute nonsense!
The only restrictions are that a tripod should not be used, you dont
get too close to the platform edge and NEVER EVER EVER use the flash
or those red lights they now have. They can momentarily "blind" the
driver.
You should have then asked the station supervisor if they minded.
Did you get the Officers' details?
Next time, if your around photographing for a project or something,
see the Station Supervisor.
