Most transport concerns have such guidelines these days. The only
problems are over zealous 'security contractors' generally.

If they don't have such guide lines they have people doing model shoots
and filming adverts on public services causing disruption, etc, etc but
no income for the operator...

In most cases these were never intended to be aimed at the causal
photographer. I would expect the rule they apply is 'do you expect to
make money from selling the results of this activity'. If yes, they want
their cut!
