I wonder however if this is simply the result of confusion relating to
different meanings being attached to "amateur" and "non-professional"
photography, the latter perhaps embracing various photography projects
that aren't money making but are nonetheless more than a bod with a
camera. Perhaps this is the result of snap-happy art students 'running
wild' on the network filling up their portfolios and causing minor
mayhem whilst they do so?
Looks like confusion and cock-up to me. The page on Permit Rates
https://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/corporate/media/lufilmoffice/permit-request.aspx
only mentions commercial filming / photography (with non-commercial
only mentioned in the student section linked from there),
but they are all under the media section of the site. In other words,
these permits do not seem to be aimed at general passengers, but at
people wanting to undertake photography projects.
The Conditions of Carriage still only mention that flash photography
is banned and don't mention normal photography at all.
I agree, it's a non-story.
