Private individuals or railway enthusiasts who wish to take photographs in the private areas for public use in the stations and railway facilities managed by Renfe as well as on the trains will not need to have prior permission.

However, the following limitations and exceptions are in place for the taking of the mentioned photographs:

  • In the private areas with restricted use at the stations or facilities, access to which requires possession of the relevant ticket (Club lounges or waiting rooms, restricted platforms, etc.)

  • It is forbidden to take pictures of security personnel, sales personnel as well as any worker related to normal railway operation without their prior written consent.
  • Even if the photographs are taken by railway enthusiasts, those articles where the main subject is not of a railway or railway-related nature will need specific permission to do so.
  • The use of images taken without permission for later commercial use or profit is strictly forbidden.
  • Remember that any person has the right to preserve his or her image and privacy so no images of him or her may be captured without his or her prior consent.
