A drunk passenger attacked a member of staff, Jerome Bowes, on New Year's Eve and this led to his sacking. A 24 hour strike was called by RMT members working on the Charing Cross Group. Any right thinking person should abhor both the behaviour of the passenger and the action of the London Underground bosses. Please protest on behalf of Jerome to the Boris Johnson The Mayor and Tim O'Toole...

You'd think he'd have grown out of it or got electrocuted by now.

Best way to get from Heathrow to Selsdon Park Hotel is ??????

Is anyone aware of any detailed info about the Network Rail sponsored alterations for the ELL at Crystal Palace, West Croydon and South Croydon (new to me too), apparently due for completion Feb 2009 according to this short summary found by Google: http://www.colasrail.co.uk/east_london.htm I've read elsewhere that the West Croydon alterations produce a 'centre turnback', but don't Southern...

I don't know the correct terminology, but I'm talking about the 2 rubber strips across the entire road width which you get on either side of a road bridge. I notice that one of the bridge joints in Primrose Street has been covered by the new bricked road surface... Is this a cock up, or are bridge joints not really necessary?

Is that champagne bar popular with passengers? Travel first class and you get a free glass of champagne anyway.

I was down at the motor show today at excel. I notice the old NLL is slowly being taken apart. The track has been lifted at canning town (and half the station is gone) and is in the process of being lifted at prince regent just before the slope to the tunnel. Anyone who wants any final piccies should head off there now before its all gone. B2003

The new buses on the 102 route appear to be air conditioned, but it is totally useless as all of the windows open. The unit on the bus I've just been on (today being the hottest day of the year) looks like it had given up as there was water pouring out of a unit on the ceiling every time we turned a corner!

Greetings. I have a retractable keychain I wear on my belt. I find it useful to have my Oyster Card on this as I don't have to fumble for it in my pockets whenever I board a bus or enter a Tube station; the card is always hanging from my hip, within easy reach of the Card readers. Until now I've been putting my Oyster Card in the official plastic wallet and punching a hole through that to put...

Does anyone else have problems with the barriers to/from the mainline platforms at Marylebone? On at least one morning every week my Gold Card is rejected with a 'Seek Assistance' message (which is easily resolved by putting through the wide-aisle gate to revalidate it). This is not peculiar to my current Gold Card as it happened with my previous ticket and with the replacement that was...

Not even two months in and from my eyes it seems that people ARE actually sticking to it. Or am I wrong? Probably only seen 1 empty can on the tube since it started. This is in complete contrast to the Smoking ban which is openly flouted and has been in around 20 odd years.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7524754.stm The Oyster system used on London's transport network has broken down two weeks after another fault left 40,000 customers with corrupted cards. The latest problem has affected pay as you go Oystercards on the Tube network. Barriers are being kept open at all stations until the problem has been rectified, Transport for London (TfL) has...

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...

Most of the programmes on BBC4 on Saturday night are about the London cab and cabbie, but one of them may have wider interest: "The Flipside Of Dominick Hyde" is a 1980 play about "a time traveller from 2130 studying the London Transport system".

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