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...

impaled on a stake in a street brawl in East London have spoken this

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

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.

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

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 ......?

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?

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...
