Euston Lounge

I had no idea such things as First class lounges at stations existed!

The First Class Lounge at Farnborough, to my horreur, has been the gent's urinals.
Can't recommend the cocktails served with the pink toilet block...

So went to the pub next door for a quick half.
The Britannia bar in Euston overlooks the concourse, and has a balcony.
I was sat on the balcony next to three blokes who had a video camera, talked about 14 hits out of 20 attempts and taking secret photos of people they were targetting. Also something about phoning people from different phones.
Found a policeman on the concourse, I said not to look up and make it obvious, he gave me a good description of the person I was talking about, as he also clocked something was odd, thanked me for the intelligence, and was on his way to feel his collar.

Collect the ticket and make your way to the first class lounge.
They have to admit you because you have a valid first class ticket on Scotrail and Virgin.
There is nowhere in the terms and conditions that states that the first class lounge has to be on the route of the ticket, or that you have to have used the ticket. I know cos I've checked

(Filming from a balcony doesn't seem a very productive way of getting views up womens' skirts, unless the floor is tiled with mirrors!)

I'm not quite seeing the joined up picture here
edit: OK, so their policies meant you wanted to wait for a Midland train, which is why you went to the pub. But what did you think the guys with the video camera were up to?
Personally I reckon the guys were either undercover detectives, but why talk about how many hits they had from 20 attempts? This did not stack up.
The video camera and using iphone for taking pics did not sound very professional.

All felt very - wrong.
