There is a blue handrail which should not get in the way, but it is advised to check before you take any photos. If my memory serves right, trains pass at no more than 55mph. London bound trains are coming in on a curve with a slight cant.

Please make sure you don't lean over the handrail because trains come quite close and also don't make it look like you are trying to throw your camera at the train!
