Yes!  You will be shot on sight!  The only way to get photos is to go to 14th
floor Railcentre 1 and ask for Kerrie Helden.  Ask her for permission to take
photos.  She will then ring Station Services to fax the station and inform them
of your imminent arrival.  You must then proceed to the Station Master's office
at Roma Street and beg permission.  If he chooses to let you, there will be
about 5 porters hanging around watching you to make sure you don't do anything
silly, or they'll charge you on a 412.
