You seriously think all the tourists on the tube taking pictures of
their friends and themselves get a permit beforehand? As long as he
doesn't look like he's doing any professional work (eg camera on stand,
taking 5 mins to set up a shot etc) its very unlikely any LU staff
would
bother him.

I'm not sure about your last few words, however LU's official policy for
*personal* photography is that it IS PERMITTED, subject to the usual rules
about flash, tripods, et cetera. This is contained within LU's Reference
Manual (official guidance for staff), and has been the subject of repeated
reminders in the weekly Traffic Circulars. Therefore, there should be no
difficulty in taking photos.

However, an email from LU's commercial/press office is not unlikely -
however it would be a bit pathetic for them to invest their time on a matter
such as this.

As far as the issue of photography goes, it's also worth noting that there
is no restriction on taking photos from public places (apart from of
military installations, etc). I once had an argument with two security
guards at Bexhill station, so instead went to the public bridge that crosses
the middle of the station, and took a vast selection of photos, including
some flash-/zoom-assisted photos of the two members of staff concerned, for
which they threatened to call the Police and I encouraged them to do so...
:-) Needless to say one of the photos concerned was included in a letter to
Southern, the response to which suggested the two concerned were no longer
in their employment as a result of this and other incidents.

So aslong i dont use the flash and dont cause an obstruction im ok.
Im going to wait for their response anyway.
Thank you for your info
Cheers

Yes - certainly at the point when you take the photos, as you simply insist
they are for personal use.

But LU/TFL may or may not read this forum or see anything you advertise, and
that is where you might encounter difficulties. I would hope that they
wouldn't, but I'm not LU/TFL.

Good luck with your work.

Well this is to be helpfull really and to help me out a bit.
Its really covering the costs but there is a few pounds over to buy me
an egg freid rice and chips on the way home.
But i do make somthing out of it well im hoping to up date my camera so
with the money each time i get over from the fee its going into a
savings fund.
Right now:
Fee: 18 pounds
Photos set of 5: £1.00
If photos are in stock prices are as follows
Set of 5:£ 5.50
Set of 10:£8.50
set of 15: £12.50
set of 20:£15.50
over 20: a price will be aranged
Now remember in the price of the photos you are getting high quality
photographs with unbeatable quality.
Now also remember these photos are taken to a high quality with high
quality film.
When the photos are in stock the prices are what they would cost to get
a certain amount developed again ,as the guys i use are brillant.
The website is to be updated very soon but the above prices are
correct, because i have now thought through all of the costs properly.
Lets hope that permit goes through ok.
Thanks
James

I see but really i dont want to keep this secret as i can expand the
website.
Ive asked for the permit if they give it to me then thunderbirds are
go!!!!
But if they dont i might be tempted to do it black market style.
But hey I havernt heard yet so it could go anyway.
Cheers
James.

I think there on holiday now so it will be a wait.
If i dont get it or have to pay loads i will forget it.
But hey they havernt said yes or no yet.
Cheers
James
