I don't think the photo is much to speak of.  If the person walking
away were closer and the train in motion or if there were people
entering/exiting the train, it could make a better photo.

If you were taking the photo to test the system and point out silly
security rules, then you need to gather more information to make your
experiment interesting.  For that, you would have either had to get
yourself arrested or at least have a longer conversation with the
train conductor.  Something to make this a good story.

Funny how I can sit in the waiting area of an airport or train station
or in a train or a plane and take all the pictures I want with barely
a glance as I did this weekend, but a photo on an underground rail
platform is supposed to carry some extra bit of sensitive information
that we require measures to suppress it.

Next time, use a camera phone.
