I thought the official line (even prior to recent events) was that
all photography is totally banned on LU without a permit?

Nope, only commercial photography, using a flash and/or using a
tripod.

I'm sure you know what you're talking about, but does it say this
anywhere official? I can't find anything on the TfL website saying
amateur photography without a permit is ok. Typing "photography" in
the search box turns up a photography FAQ which appears to say that
all photography requires a permit.

If you read it carefully, and between the lines, you notice that it's
referring to commercial photographers and filmmakers.

The internal instructions are that passengers can take photographs with
small cameras for private purposes, provided flashlights and/or tripods are
not used and that no obstruction or inconvenience is caused to staff and/or
passengers.

There is no need to ask permission.
