Sunday night. Trying to get to Leeds and back again. 40 minuite round trip. Various cancelliations. Delays. Lack of staff. No drivers. Turned it into 5 hour matathron. With no staff knowing what was going on or what to do. The only good thing is that the staff sent half the passengers on the train I finally got home to the wrong platform for a train that didn't exisit. So I actually got a seat...

Why are these consistently wrong on the westbound Met platform? I am aware of the difficulties due to the operating pattern from Aldgate/Aldgate East, but they never used to be wrong with the old system.

Just a short note to say that a splendid new book has been published outlining the history of the maps used to portray the oldest Metro systems plus examples of maps deployed by many other Metros around the world.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any listing for him, though I know he lives in Brent. I know this is a longshot, but is...

Can anyone think of any London Underground stations with the letters T, O, S, E and R in their names (apart from Cannon Street)? -- message by Robin May, but you can call me Mr Smith. Hello. I'm one of those "roaring fascists of the left wing". Then and than are different words!

I got stuck on a bus outside Burnt Oak station at about 12.45 today. There were several fire engines, ambulances, a rapid response paramedic vehicle, police, an LUL Emergency vehicle and an emergency doctor. What happened? -- Helen D. Vecht: Edgware.

Hi, I'll be visiting London for the first time and, as such, can't gauge what's walkable. This will determine whether I need to pick up 7-day Travel Cards or just work with day offpeaks. I'm a decent walker, but not ready for primetime marathon walking. I'll be staying in Victoria Station. So far it doesn't look like I'll be sightseeing out of Zone 1 except for several sidetrips that wouldn't...

What time is the last train on Sat-night at Victoria heading to Barking? And the first train on Sun-morning for the inverse route?
