Apart from moving block signalling of course! Though some omissions will be because the whole network was designed with the assumption of 30per hour services (was it 36 per hour at one point?) Personally I think they should have been a bit more infrastructure to isolate failed trains and be able to run more of a service on parts of the line while other bits were suspended

I just done a search on the TFL "Fare Finder" page for Ruislip (London Underground) to Hackney Central ( London Overground ). It came out with the following results : ========================================= Ruislip - Hackney Central Oyster single fare £1.80 Monday to Friday from 0700 and before 1900*

The National Express ticket machines at Kings Cross have been altered to sell the correct versions of some tickets for journeys starting at other London terminals. They now offer tickets via Waterloo or Paddington with the U1 journey included. Tickets to Thameslink destinations are available stating From St Pancras not via Underground, and also to some SWT destinations stating via Wimbledon not...

Hey guys. I'm currently planning a journey that takes me via London. Basically I arrive in London Kings Cross, then ened to walk over to St Pancreas to get a train to St. Albans. According to the Transport Direct journey planner, this walk will take 31 minutes, but if I look at any map, it looks like it shouldn't even take 5! I've not been to the new St Pancreas, and I guess the entrance...

Had to go to a meeting at Hangar lane today. After white city the train just took off, we must've been doing 40-50 mph. How come the other tube lines are so slow in comparison? The piccadilly plods its way to acton town and the northern line between east finchley and finchley central seemed to barely get above 25mph the few times I did it last year. Why is the central line different? B2003

The first of the latest batch of DLR rolling stock was meant to be delivered from Germany about 4 weeks ago. Has anyone got any info?

Anyone know if there is any reason behind a distinct lack of Northern Line trains northbound to Edgware from the City Branch at Euston? (at least I think it's the City branch - will double check the platform number tomorrow) From last week certainly around 7:40am, there has been no Edgware branch train indicated for at least 15 mins when I've come off the Victoria Line southbound. No major...

I Would like to make a change from Central Line at West Ruislip (or a station on that route) to the nearest Metropolitan Line Station. Could anyone advise of the two which are the closest and easiest to walk? No walking problems or anything just would like the quickest and easiest for someone who isn't familiar with the area. Thanks

Is it possible to visit Stonehenge by public transportation from London as a one day excursion? Considering both convenience and price, what would you suggest? We will most likely be traveling in May. -- jhk

Hi there, I have a "Bus Operator Nominee" Oyster card which gives me free travel on the tube, bus and tram. Does this also include free travel on the DLR? Thanks for any help. Sue

This week I've twice been suprised to find myself on a southbound Met from Uxbridge in the evening peak that ran fast between Harrow-on-the-hill and Finchley Road on it's way to Aldgate. Is this a permanent change to the timetable? If so, does anyone have the details? -- Fig

Dear Sir/Madam I am a student of Warsaw School of Economics. I write a master's thesis about a opinion on managers. I would like to ask you to fill in the survey (link below) by you and as many members of your group as possible. It will help me to write my thesis. It takes only up to 7 minutes to fill it in. The survey:

Crews tackle London market blaze Up to 100 firefighters are tackling a major blaze that is spreading rapidly through London's famous Camden Market. There are no reports of casualties so far but London Fire Brigade said people were reported trapped in the fire. Firefighters were alerted at about 7.20pm to a blaze at the north side of the market, on Chalk Farm Road. Police have sealed off roads...

For the last 2 -3 months there has been building work at the Northern end of the Northbound platform at Totteridge and Whetstone station. Does anyone know what it is ?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7238506.stm Usual journalistic inaccuracies. It was all going quite well until "When completed the steam train will be used for charter journeys operated by Network Rail." And

The Truth About Bikes And Anti-Motorist Lanes: http://tinyurl.com/36kls5 Very revealing all in all. TfL's true colours are exposed (again), as are those of militant cyclists (who are of course doing as much damage to proper cyclists' interests as anyone else's). "A clue lies in the report's findings about the attitudes of other road users to the idea of motorcycles in bus lanes, with almost...

Grrr. Dealing with London Buses call centre is giving me a headache. Over such an easy thing too, but I feel like I am banging my head against a brick wall. I'm posting the conversations here mainly as therapy. Basically, there was a burst water main on a bus route near my house. All the traffic, and four bus routes (2, 196, 432 and 468) were diverted along the road I live on. This road is...

The price for a weekly rail-only season ticket from Hampton Court to Waterloo listed at http://tinyurl.com/2flhgs is £29.30. My girlfriend asked at Waterloo today and was told it was £33.80, just as the nationalrail.co.uk season ticket calculator says. Is there a way to get the £29.30 ticket or is that inaccurate information? -- Michael Hoffman
