I had to take the tube to our london office today. Went down onto the platform. 1 minute later I realised I'd left something at home and went out again. Luckily I always check the gates and noticed it had deducted a quid! So much for the 15 min grace period mentioned on here by others. The lady in the ticket office was nice enough to put it back on the card but how many other people have been...

Today I asked TFL Customerline for a more recent copy of my Local Journey Planner and was told that it is only online. Can this be correct? I have my old 2004 copies for L6 (Ilford) and L4 (Walthamstow). Is there anything else I can get which updates those A5 booklets?

An hour or two ago the Crossrail Bill became the Crossrail Act, which means as soon as the funding agreement is signed (due in September) the thing might actually see the light of day. U -- http://londonconnections.blogspot.com/ A blog about transport projects in London

Beneath the bells are poles attached to sluice gates. Does the bell...

In the recent past, I have complained when trainboard PA advertises interchanges that do not exist - mainly due to engineering closures. While travelling this weekend, 2 District trains reported absence of Jubilee and Victoria lines at Westminster and Victoria, a southbound Northern line train reported the Jubilee missing at Moorgate and a Circle line reported the Victoria outage at Kings...

Just been reading on Wikipedia that Amersham might be going down to having just two trains an hour? Is that not a really poor service?

At about 07.40 on Sunday morning 20/07/08, I saw a westbound train at Aldgate East. The destination on the front was "CIRCLE LINE". There was no mention of it on the platform train describer. The PA sounded something akin to: "This is a Circle Line service via Liverpool Street". Where might it have been parked? What wanderings do Circle Line services do? I have occasionally been on a Circle...

Went to see "Prince Caspian" last night - it opens with a very authentic-looking London scene during the war, including 1940s taxis and buses, and the entrance to Strand Underground station - then down on to the platform, and 1938 stock. Presumably the scenes on the platform are actually Alwych - but I am fascinated to know how the outside scenes were done. Is it a combination of...

Weren't we supposed to be getting some hybrid buses running on the streets Real Soon Now about a year ago? They were to be powered by electric motors with a small diesel engine to charge the batteries AFAIR. Are they out there now or still in the design stage or did they get the boot along with Comrade Ken? B2003

Public transport has always been awful; and over the past couple of years I've noticed that more and more often I'm squashed inside a bus or train, with hardly enough room to breathe, because the company decided to cancel earlier buses or trains without notice, and without making any alternative arrangements. Because I believe that this gross-overcrowding is a serious risk to public health...

I'm running around south London tomorrow, croydon and down to cheam, as there will be alot of it on NR trains I need a travelcard for the day, can I get my local shop to load a 1-6 1day travel card onto my oyster or do I have to go old-school piece of card? -- Mark Varley www.MarkVarleyPhoto.co.uk www.TwistedPhotography.co.uk London, England.

Hello everybody, do you know how much was a ticket for the London underground in the early '60s? I found that a bus ticket for one stop was one and a half penny, and a three-pence for about three or four stops in suburbs such as Edgware or Stanmore. Is it right? Any help appreciated, thanks,

I was affected by the Oyster problem on Saturday, 12 July. An error message "30" appeared on the display at the gate, at Kings Cross Station. I was told that I could go through the barriers as the staff member on duty said that the error message referred to the the system wide error that affected Oyster. At Clapham Common Station, I was told by a lady there that I *had* to renew my card there...

The usual suspects, Alstom, Bombardier, Siemens; plus Hitachi, have applied to build the Thameslink EMUs. This phase of the procurement process seems fairly predictable, would the DfT not save time and money by prequalifying the first three for any future UK rolling stock builds, or would that be against the rules, in case there are other train builders around who might be...
