You didn't make any mistake this member of staff did, ask for his name

The only restriction is on flash photography.

IMHO, many of them enjoy intimidating passengers in order to feel
powerful.

Too true, especially of cyclists. I had some pretty offensive treatment
from a SWT guard with my bike between Wandsworth Town and Putney.

On the other hand last week there was a SWT guard on the train from
Feltham to Waterloo who kept passengers amused by making humorous
announcements. One of his more serious ones was that he would get
seriously upset if he caught anyone with their feet up on the opposite
seat. He got a rousing cheer at that. When people left they thanked
him. CJB.

I think I must have travelled on his train in the past.

I've heard some good announcements on the SWT loop lines, ranging from a
good history of the ramps between Putney and Wandsworth Town, to an
almost interminable exposition of the variety of destinations reachable
from Clapham Junction, relieved only by details of the likely platform
needed for each destination (the latter announcement hadn't even been
finished by the time we pulled away from CJ).
