From Tube Site: Service Disruption on the Northern Line -Bank Branch- The Northern Line (Bank Branch) has no service between Euston Station and East Finchley Station in both directions. This will affect journeys from 11:26 on 19/10/03 until further notice. This is due to a derailed train at Camden Town Station. London Buses are accepting ticket holders via any reasonable route. Service Disruption...

I've been fascinated with the Underground since my first visit to London in November 2001. I want to visit every single station. How long do you think it would take? I want to get at least one exterior picture, and one interior. I figure I could do maybe 15 stations an hour if I was really pushing it; but 10 is probably more practical. Anyone here have any experience with this? Where would...

My wife and I always buy our odd-period Travelcards from central London National Rail stations because of the full acceptance of credit cards and more recently the 5% discount, although we use them mostly to travel on the Tube. Both of us have encountered our Travelcards failing recently in Tube barriers, and when we have taken the Travelcards back to the National Rail station of purchase, we...

Sometime between 1990 and 94, the few stations past Epping seem to have been eliminated. Does anyone know what rail services these places have now? Do they have a tube connection at all? West to east, they were North Weald, Blake Hall, Ongar. Blake Hall was gone by 1985, and the other two were gone by 94. Anyone have pictures of these stations or any information? Also, any pictures of the...

For the first time ever I entered the Central Line at Shepherd's Bush. Just before I went down the last set of stairs to the platform, I saw a closed exit and what looked like a tunnel going across a set of tracks. As I got down to the eastbound platform, I could see thru the metal grating what looked like another platform/tunnel but about 6/ feet higher than the platform I was on. Could see...

If anyone is interested, I set up a petition to get the historic and proper station name reinstated. http://www.petitiononline.com/lyndhurs/petition.html BTN

Talking to staff the other night it seems the 3rd escalator might not open till the spring now as the power supply hasnt been sorted out for it. Isn't this exactly what happened at TCR?

Hi, Does anyone know what kind of, or how/if data is logged for use of Oyster cards? is the system used kind of like the "airmiles points" thing, where my data is analysed and them I'm sent loads of junk mail / telemarketing? thanks for any help, John.

Is it possible to use an oystercard originally used with an adult photocard to buy student tickets with a student photocard? -- message by Robin May, consumer of liquids Hello. I'm one of those "roaring fascists of the left wing". Hacker is to computer as boy racer is to Ford Escort.

Whats the fare for this from heathrow to great portland st?

How can a signal failure on the jubilee line cause so much chaos?? If its affecting the ATO why can't they just drive the trains manually through the affected section? Or has more than just a signal gone wrong and they don't want to tell us? Plus it would have been nice if LU had listened to what people were saying about using Charing X as a backup terminus instead of just closing the jubilee...

Hi All, I work out at Stockley Park (just north of the Heathrow Spur Road), and live near Swiss Cottage, and still haven't really worked out the best way home in the evening... perhaps if there's anyone out there with some top tips, they could share them with me! My options are really: - M4 in to Chiswick, then wriggle through London - A40 in to Paddington, Maida Vale, Swiss Cottage

Hi all, Roughly how much walking is involved in changing between the three lines at Green Park (Piccadilly/Jubilee/Victoria)? John Rowland's website shows a diagram of the station (http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/7069/ltgreenpk.gif) which predates the Jubilee line. That seems to indicate that the Picc-Vic interchange is quite a hike, but where does the Jubilee fit into things?

During a short break in London last weekend, I bought a day return ticket from KXSP Thameslink to Gravesend (intending to change at London Bridge). Only then did I discover that Thameslink services are not currently running between Blackfriars and Kentish Town on weekends to permit work on the new station under Midland Way. Although this situation, in which Thameslink passengers concerned are...
