That said the bit where the spokesperson says they will adopt a
"common sense" approach to amateur photography but then goes on to say
"Our position is that if you wish to take a photograph on our property
you should seek permission" does sound rather ominous. The policy at
least up until now has been that there were no restrictions with
regards to amateur photography.

This is just going the wrong way.

There used to be a "permit" requirement in Spain, but it's been dropped
recently:

shows the English wording (I printed out this and the one in Castellano
and carried both when in Spain recently). I do like being thought of as
an "aficionado".

I was in Spain a few weeks ago, and had no problems whatsoever taking
pictures (without a permit).

OTOH, buying ticket is hassle - few useful machines (though lots of
ticket on departure collection machines), and a lack of through
ticketing between long distance and local/regional trains.
