Direction Unit - Train Station Permit

One of the options for my film was to use Rochester Station for my busy location. I didn't know I needed a permit to shoot in it, so I went straight to the station to film. Before anything, one of my crew members, Helen Welsh, told me to ask if I was allowed to film or not. I head to the person that sells the train tickets and asked him if I was allowed or not. His answer was that I needed permission for it and usually it was not given, so I headed to the Help Point Office upstairs and talked to one go the southeastern officers for permission. After saying no, I explained to him everything I was going to film, exactly as it was going to be framed, which convinced him of allowing me to shoot, everything, except inside the train. Here is a still of the train leaving the station where my character is suppose to be in:
