Penalty Fares at mainline stations inside the zones.... by
Martin Petrov
This morning I had to travel to Leyton to Ilford and needless to say,
given I haven't bought a paper ticket in London for YEARS due to
always having a monthly or annual travelcard and auto top up on my
Oystercard, it never crossed my mind that I'd have to buy a ticket to
cover me for the stretch outside of zone 3 to Ilford.
And so, since at Stratford, there's no check to prevent me making...

Extended Circle trial this weekend by
Paul Scott
Noticed on TfL weekend travel a hint that a trial run of the Circle to
Hammersmith 'Teacup' service is happening this weekend. Can anyone
confirm this is the case? There are no 'service changes' displayed for
the Circle, they're just saying for Edgware Rd station:
"Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 June, there is no through Circle line
service. Passengers travelling between Bayswater and Baker Street...

I think you will find that the impetus for Thameslink came mainly from

Watford to Heathrow by
Frederick Williams
There used to be a very convenient Virgin bus running between Watford
and Heathrow. It no longer runs but there is a Geenline (?) bus: slow
and with inadequate baggage facilities. Is there a convenient train
plus underground route? No stairs please because the passenger will
have both a suitcase and an over-night bag to carry.

Cycle route from Finsbury Park to North Finchley by
Tom Anderson
Hello Londonistanis,
I live in Finsbury Park, and am currently working in North Finchley. I've
been getting there by public transport so far, but now that the weather is
going a bit less jungle-like, i would like to start cycling.
Any thoughts on a route?
The one time i've been up there by bike, i took a slightly indirect route
in order to skirt the hills: up to the top of the park, then up...

got a H28 (Tfl bus with only one door) from Tesco to where it
intersected the route of the 235.

Off the trains by

I changed jobs in Feb 09 so I no longer have to get the First Capital

No more, will it turn up late, or at all ? No more, will it splutter to
a halt half way ? No more fighting past bikes to get on !
I think we should let the Iranian's have their dodgy election. As long

Watford Junction Oyster validators by
Recliner[_2_]
I'll be taking a train to Watford Junction next week using Oyster
pre-pay, and then continuing the journey on a charter train (paper
ticket) -- would I be correct in assuming that there are Oyster
validators on the platforms so I don't have to leave and re-enter the
barriered zone (and vice versa on my return)?
