I have to pick-up a person from Heathrow who is coming to an conference at OLD ST (Post Code: EC1V 9BW). I have to pick him up with a car as his luggage will remain in the car. Can anyone advise where is the BEST, SECURE, CONVENIENT, and CHEAPEST car park to park at and then make our way to EC1V 9BW either by Tube or SHORT walk. I am travellling to London for the first time by car and...

I found a road today (Knapp Road E3) with a standard T-shaped "No Through Road" sign, and underneath were the words "Except Access". Every time I try to figure out what that might mean, my head turns into a Moebius strip. Whose job is it to decide which signs go where? Is it a pay-peanuts-get-monkeys job, or has the chap got some qualification?

Tfl have released a new tube map with London Overground on.. http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/colourmap.pdf Heathrow Terminal 5m Langdon Park, Wood Lane and Shepherds Bush (LO) appear as under construction. Hatch End to Watford Junction are depicted as outside the zones (not even in A-D). "Special Fares Apply"

Evening all, With apologies to those of you who already read Strange Maps: http://strangemaps.wordpress.com/2007/12/03/212-transit-map-of-the-worlds-transit-systems/ Slightly peeved that London only merits Warwick Avenue ... tom

Islam, much more a death cult then a religion.

Line maps and announcements are beginning to mention interchange with London Overground services. This is already a little confusing - Euston, Highbury and Blackhorse Road all interchange with entirely different lines, though you wouldn't know it from the linear map of the Victoria line. And if Ken is serious about bringing more and more lines into the LO branding, the situation's going to get...

Has anyone been to the London Transport Museum since it re-opened? I'm having an unusually long period of Not Being In London and won't be able to visit until Wednesday. I wonder if anyone has any positive (or otherwise!) Things to say about what we have to see for two years of closure? -- Ian Jelf, MITG Birmingham, UK

As for 'Ubaydah, he had wounded his enemy but was wounded himself, and so his two companions killed the wounded Meccan and carried 'Ubaydah back to the safety of the Muslim ranks. After this, the two armies attacked each other and fighting broke out all around. The sky was filled with arrows. The Muslim army held its ground against the great army of Quraysh and even though the Muslims were much...

Right, Fanshafting, dialling codes, and now geometry. Melvyn Bragg is currently talking to me about the Golden Ratio : http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/inourtime/inourtime.shtml One of his contributors has cited railway tickets as an everyday object which is sized according to the Golden Ratio. That ratio is 1:1.618ish; some quick measurements of tickets give me a ratio of ~1.58, which is

Hi, I'm mildly disappointed in the lack of connections the GOBLin line has with tube lines (very mildly - it's not one of the things that causes me to lose sleep, but it is a shame.) It crosses four tube lines (Cebtral, Victoria, Piccadilly and Northern), yet only connects with one and that's only because the Victoria line was built to connect with it. I was wondering, was the GOBLin built after...

Hi all, I have lurked her often but only once, a long time ago felt the need to post anything. However perhaps someone here can help me with the TfL Journey Planner. To get it to start route at my house I have to type in a carefully edited version of my address. It then give me a choice, the first of which is my address (in its own format). When I type in my address in the JP Format it...

The Battle Of Badr The Muslims who had gone to Medinah, had left all their belongings behind in Mecca and these had been taken by their enemies. Thus, when the Muslims heard that Abu Sufyan, one of the leaders of Quraysh, was on his way back to Mecca from Syria with a large caravan of goods, they decided that the time had come for them

was at paddington today waiting for circle line to south ken. Wimbledon service rolls in and announcer says the next Circle is at Kings Cross at least ten minutes away. Get on and at the next stop Bayswater stick my head out. Next circle line is 1 minute away. I know that they do not know when the next train is coming because of the antiquated sinalling system but why do they have to lie. If...

In the December edition of Modern Railways John Sully reports that TfL and Network Rail have decided on the track layout for the section from Dalston Kingsland to Camden Road following the opening of the ELL to Highbury and Islington. The proposals include a turn back platform at Camden Road. Alwaystouchout had previously reported that the service pattern on the former NLL was going to...

I'm shortly going to renew my annual travelcard for the first time and wondered if anyone could enlighten me in a few areas, some of which I'm sure should be published information but I'm finding it increasingly hard to find anything on the TfL website! 1) What percentage of my £1328 ticket goes to the retailer? Will my local newsagent be incredibly appreciative if I go to him rather than the...

On the train out of Waterloo last night, an announcement came over the tannoy : "Ladies and Gentlemen, it has been brought to my attention that there is a beggar on board the train. This is the Guard. If he approaches you for money, please do not give any. Thankyou."

Twelve important men from Yathrib went to Mecca to meet the Prophet (pbuh) and promised faithfully to serve him and Islam. In return, the Prophet (pbuh) sent one of his friends, Mus'ab ibn 'Umayr, with them to teach the Koran and instruct them in their new religion. Another year passed and still more Muslims came from Yathrib to Mecca for the pilgrimage. On this occasion a secret meeting with the...

Ebbsfleet, what with its football team and its railway station, is in the news more often than London these days. I wonder what it's like? I bet it's a dump. If it's not too bad I might move there. Perhaps it'll soon become the capital of the United Kingdom. That would be cool.
