From last week's Mayor's Question Time: http://mqt.london.gov.uk/mqt/public/question.do?id=30225 Question by Caroline Pidgeon Why is it not possible at present to get Gold Card or Network Railcard benefits in conjunction with Oyster PAYG? How many people would benefit from this? Do you have any plans to introduce this?

Afternoon all, Here is a story which my housemate just told me. He arrived at Heathrow by aeroplane at 2230 last night (friday). He'd previously booked a minicab (from Network Cars of Crouch End, for the benefit of anyone googling that firm in future) to pick him up and bring him home to Finsbury Park. He'd been quoted a price of 40 pounds. (Why he didn't just get the Piccadilly line, i...

Hi all, I'm going to a gig at the Camden Roundhouse tomorrow evening and, ideally, would like to park somewhere further up the Edgware branch of the Northern Line. Somewhere around Hendon Central would be good, as I'll be coming down the A1. I've checked on the TfL website and the car parks aren't big (or are non-existent) for that area. I know you can park (for free!) at Brent Cross shopping...

Does anyone know if the rail replacement bus still runs twice a week on the Ealing Broadway to Wandsworth Road route? I think I read that rail services were going to continue from December 2009.

I dare say it may have to wait a little while until there's a decent development proposal that comes along. Maybe TfL should commission some artistic types (plentiful in Shoreditch) to decorate it... I know a few who would relish the ...

I recently bought an Intercity open return ticket via the Southern rail website. The outward journey is on 23rd May, 10am, Kings Cross to Newcastle. I also asked for seat reservations. The website said an outward one only was available and asked whether I wanted "facing" etc., etc. When the tickets arrived in the post, there was nothing for the reservation. When I emailed, they said there...

I will be flying into London City Airport in a few weeks and was planning to go (London City Airport - Woolwich Arsenal via DLR) to (London Bridge via NR). I'm sure that there are other ways, but the question is; If I touch in at LC Airport, travel to Woolwich A, do I need to touch out at WA, or can I transfer to NR there and just touch out at London Bridge making it one journey from City...

Yesterday I tried using my Oyster card on National Rail for the first time. In just 2 NR journeys and 2 tube trips I got at least two problems. The first unresolved journey (ticket barrier at London Bridge NR at fault, apparently) I managed to get sorted out at South Kensington ticket office by merely queuing for 10 minutes, first refund £4. When finishing the day at King's Cross my...

Subject says it all. Is London Overground part of the National Rail, network, or not? The observation that triggered the question was seeing, on one of the maps on board a tube train, a station showing an interchange opportunity with London Overground, but *not* showing the National Rail symbol against the station name. Which would seem to imply not. -roy

I am reliably informed (via an internal notice) that the first 3 car DLR trains have entered service today. MIG can now go and conclude his "3 car" hunting expedition ;-) -- Paul C via Google

I'm on a "via Victoria" (anticlockwise) circle train that started from Edgware road on platform 2, which necessitated crossing from the other island where the westbound Hammersmith train (albeit a Metropolitan) had arrived at platform 4. To achieve a cross-platform change I would have had to wait until a District Line train reversed in platform 3 (there was none present at the time). And...

This morning I've seen a three-unit train running on the DLR, with the designation "Special", in between other services. (Am I the only one having trouble perceiving the "articulated vehicles" as anything other than units of two coaches?) Presumably it is some kind of test run. The one I saw was made up of the new units.

How much of this still exists in some form? I believe the 405 to Redhill and the 409 to East Grinstead as they are now were once part of it, but what else is there?
