Richard J.[_3_] Today 12:05 AM
I heard tonight at a meeting in Acton between local residents and Network Rail/Tfl/LOROL representatives that Ian Brown (MD, London Rail, TfL) had announced in his report to the Mayor at the TfL Board meeting last week that the North London Line resignalling was to be postponed until after the Olympics. This was reported by someone in the audience tonight, and was clearly a complete...

Having recently discovered that you can buy through tickets from tube stations online, I have a U123 Londn to Evesham off-peak return (with Railcard discount) for today. I know that the off-peak restriction applies to the FGW service from Paddington, but will the ticket be valid for tube connections in the afternoon peak, ie if I leave home before 1900? At least, from WebTIS retailers, like...

First Capital Connect were using platform 1 at London St Pancras today, so I took the opportunity to see if the gateline there (fitted with ITSO pads) would accept my Oyster card on PAYG. It didn't - I got the red light and error code 76, almost 3 seconds after a 'touch-in' attempt. #76 must be new because it's described as a 'spare' when I Google it, what does it mean now?

Don't get me wrong: I don't want thameslink to come through Crystal Palace or Gipsy Hill, but I might like some other lines to be extended and so I wander why now that so many other stations in South London get thameslink trains stopping, these stations get none?

I've just been reading about the service changes when the NLL shuts down between Gospel Oak - Stratford from 20th Feb: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/projectsandschemes/networkandservices/13915.aspx Under the paragraph entitled "Ticketing" it states that, " Oyster pay as you go users may incur an additional charge for using Tube services.

There's a pub on Kennington Park Road called The Old Red Lion. A little to the north of Kennington tube station. Not far, just a train length or so. http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&ll=51.489213,-0.105325&spn=0.00167,0.003449&t=h&z=18 I drove past it the other day, and next door - a yard - had a large hoarding round it. Marked "london underground", or similar. Now kennington tube station is...

I see that the Freedom Pass application form requires applicants to declare that: "I acknowledge I have read, understand, and accept the Freedom Pass condition of use which are located on the Freedom Pass website at www.freedompass.org " I sent two questions about that condition to TRL last week: 1. Is this designed to ensure that old and poor people who do not have

Has anyone got an old picture of the City branch Euston platforms facing EAST, from before about the 1920s? Its just that there should be some unique weird bridge thing in the middle of the platform back then, and I haven't found any pictures of it. Basically what it boils down to is that the two "vents" in this picture http://www.abandonedstations.org.uk/Euston/6_Euston41.jpg

Does anybody know how well the car parks at Sunbury are used? Looking to catch the 0916 next Wednesday and debating whether to leave time to find alternative parking if the station is full (probably a good idea anyway!).

London Millennium Funicular A new funicular opened in London in 2003. It is at the north end of the new Millennium foot bridge and leads from the bridge to the embankment. It is located alongside an office building and appears to be for disabled people. It is enclosed by glass panels with glass doors at each end. Manufacturered by Maspero Elevatori - Italy, with electric traction and a speed of...

The new ones are up on the TfL website. It would seem that Mr Hendy is not keen on OEPs - he calls them an "impediment to travel" in his report and has written to ATOC and the TOCs asking that they be removed and stating that TfL does not support them. Strong stuff indeed. And the great Rail Summit is to be held shortly - invites have been sent. I wonder what might be on the agenda ......? --...

Have there been any in public service yet? I hoped I'd get lucky when I arrived at Canary Wharf at 9am this morning, but no sign. Nothing when I was on my way home either.

For about the last three weeks, when entering or leaving a NR or LT station, I usually (but not always) get a message to the effect that my Freedom Pass will soon expire. As it is dated 31 March it seems a bit early to give such a warning. Is it possible that I have a problem with my card and it will stop working before the due date? -- John Ray

It has happened to me that I've know the time of the last train but, when I get to the station in good time, the station seems closed (grids pulled across entrances). Last week I went to Leicester Square station at about 12:15 and both the entrances facing each other on Charing Cross Road were closed. I walked to Piccadilly Circus and the station entrance near to Eros had its grid pulled to...

Is the easiest option just the 205 bus to Mile End, then round the corner to the 323 bus to Canning Town? With my railhead on, I was going to do HS1 from St Pancras to Stratford, but I believe there's quite a bit of walking at both Stratford stations and platform 11 (where the buses to...
