As noted earlier - those are only the rules for commercial filming and
photography - the problem is that the rules that do allow private
photography are not accessible from the website...


I don't think so - there's very obvious provisions for student filming,
which
isn't considered commercial. Futhermore the first two rules state:


Please see earlier posts - especially the one by Steve Fitzgerald on 10/3
containing the extract from the LU staff manual:

10. Photography on stations


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


10.2 Representatives of the media, press or photographic agencies and
film companies, and other persons taking photographs for commercial
purposes must first get permission from the Press Officer. See section
13 of this document

In the current Conditions of Carriage (Jan 007), there's the clear
implication that it's permissible to take non-flash photographs and
use a hand-held camera on London Underground stations and trains.
Otherwise presumably, all unlicensed photography would have been
banned outright.

4.5. For safety reasons, on our buses, in our bus stations and
on London Underground stations and trains you must not:

• smoke

• use bicycles, roller skates, roller blades, scooters or skateboards

• take flash photographs and/or use a tripod or other camera support
equipment

• use emergency exits except in an emergency or when instructed to do so by
our staff
