Put all the legal stuff aside still give QR(or any rail operators)no
rights to stop people from photograph trains, or search someone's bag
and ask someone to leave the station. Imaging if a group of tourists
just got of  Kuranda's tourost train and about to take photos, and
staff tells them to stop taking photo and leave the station
immediately.

It seems to me the problem is with some of the staffs from citytrain,
who desn't know what is "Railway Enthusiast".
