Legally you can only be moved on if your being anti social in some way ie drunk or being verbally aggressive, simply asking you to leave what is effectively a public space for taking photos isn't to me grounds to be kicked out of somewhere.

There's a post further up the thread where someone is told to move away by a police officer from outside a bus depot. Again they only do this if your being anti social in some way.

You are wrong on your point about taking photos. Bus'rail stations, bus depots, retail parks are privately own places that are open to the public and the owner of the land can ask you to leave for any reason if they so wish and also make up their own rules about how their site is used. Things like the road traffic act also apply to places like supermarket car parks which are privately owned. An access road or forecourt to a depot could also be privately owned land.
One other thing to think about is that some people using a bus/rail stations may not want to be in your photo or may feel intimidated by someone pointing a camera in their direction.
Just find somewhere else to take photos, its quite simple.
