First Capital Connect fare rise last weekend? by DaveP
Someone pointed out that fares from Potters Bar to Oakleigh Park seem to have nearly douled over the weekend - the booking office charged £25 instead of £15 for a 7 day ticket. Checking online, my annual has gone from £552 to £1040 - bizarrely this is the same fare as from Welwyn Garden City to Oakleigh Park! I thought this might have been as a result of the zonal fares being imposed on NR...

Wood Green to Streatham by Dave
Wondering if anyone here might be able to give me some rough advice as to how I can get from Wood Green to Streatham Hill (or any part of Streatham) with a zone 2-3 travelcard? Leaving in the morning and returning after rush hour. Many thanks for any advise. Kind Regards,

Standard Day Return - break of journey? by paulspeller@gmail.com
This feels like it would have been asked numerous times on here before, but either it hasn't been or my Google Groups search skills are not up to the task - apologies if it's the latter! I've got a Standard Day Return from Crayford to London today (£9.20). On my way home I would like to stop off in Bexley (the stop before Crayford), leave the station to drop something off nearby, then return to...

Willesden- Clapham Junction by Eric
Does anybody know the reason that the Willsden Junction- Clapham Junction train takes so long? I know there is a voltage change between Willesden & Olympia, but the train crawls on this section & often stops two or three times. Between Olympia & West Brompton the speed is reasonable but after that the train crawls to Clapham Junction, the other day a jackdaw overtook the train & it was...

There's some at Westminster just outside the subway on the riverbank. As I recall they were once voted the best in London. Though judging by the smell when I passed by the other week, I would think that accolade is no longer...

Ghosts on the Underground by Toby
There was a good programme on Sky yesterday called 'Ghosts on the Underground'. It mentioned a few paranormal sightings, including an alleged haunted sub-Thames tunnel at Embankment station, a Covent Garden ghost and other weird goings on. So, has anybody here seen or got a good spooky story relating to the tube?

Critique my tube map by alex_t
Last weekend I had nothing to do, so I've drawn my own tube map :-| http://www.fxfp.com/get/tube/2007/05/m_001.png Warning! The file is about 500kb and quite large: 5000x3250 pixels. Notable changes compared to the official map: * no North London line (I will add Overground when it will launch) * "walk-only" interchanges between stations omitted (Shadwell, Bow Road/Church, etc) * no Regent's...

Ken's comments on Metronet by Kev
I know this guy hates the PPP's but I thought his comments about the best thing to happen would be for Metronet to go bankrupt was a bit out of order for the Mayor of London and a senior member of the Labour party. I am sure that the many suppliers that would suffer financial hardship not to mention the workers who would lose out financially as well. Given that a Labour Government put the PPP's...

Stoke Newington Commuting by adamharrison@gmail.com
I'm moving to London in July and a lot of my friends are located in the Stoke Newington area. I'm considering moving there but am worried by the lack of a tube. I will be commuting to Victoria every day. Will the lack of a tube wreck my head or is the bus/tube combo ok? I'm moving from Dublin (no tube anyway) and cycle to work in 15 mins. Thanks!
