Today I travelled to London on a super off-peak London One-day Travelcard purchased from FCC at Luton Airport Parkway. I know from past experiences that these tickets operate the gates at all TfL stations that I've used, but consistently fail at those of South Eastern Trains (e.g. Charing Cross and London Bridge). Today I also found both of our tickets were rejected at London St.Pancras...

Twice now I have touched-out at Kings Cross St Pancras station on my way to St Pancras International train station. On both occasions, the "Exit" has not been recorded on my Oyster account, and I have been overcharged. I know I touched out, because I managed to get through the barriers, so how come it didn't register?

Why is there a door in the ceiling at the south end of platform 10 at moorgate (behind that cage thing) ?

Have there been any in public service yet? I hoped I'd get lucky when I arrived at Canary Wharf at 9am this morning, but no sign. Nothing when I was on my way home either.

This is actually a story that has originated from TfL, in a bid to try and raise awareness of the need to touch-in and touch-out (see below for the article itself). No mention of any OEP issues, instead this is just the old requirement to touch-in and touch-out, which will always be a requirement unless the ultra-radical notion of a flat fare ever came to be (which will happen right after TfL's...

The Jubilee line is only running between Waterloo and North Greenwich is it really worth having it open?

It has happened to me that I've know the time of the last train but, when I get to the station in good time, the station seems closed (grids pulled across entrances). Last week I went to Leicester Square station at about 12:15 and both the entrances facing each other on Charing Cross Road were closed. I walked to Piccadilly Circus and the station entrance near to Eros had its grid pulled to...

Recently I obtained a Hillingdon Community Services card which doubles as a Library user's card. And put it into the same card wallet as my Oyster card - in which I also keep my bank card. Suddently my Oyster card stopped working on trains and buses, and even the Heathrow Connect portable validators wouldn't recognise it - to considerable embarrasment. The culprit was the Hillingdon Community...

Surprised not to see a thread here yet. See http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23803662-boris-is-waging-war -on-our-citys-subversive-south.do or http://snipurl.com/ubl23. I don't entirely go along with Jenkins' thesis and note he gave a closure period for Albert Bridge at variance with the photo attached to his article (presumably an editorial rather than his cock-up). However, he...

Having recently discovered that you can buy through tickets from tube stations online, I have a U123 Londn to Evesham off-peak return (with Railcard discount) for today. I know that the off-peak restriction applies to the FGW service from Paddington, but will the ticket be valid for tube connections in the afternoon peak, ie if I leave home before 1900? At least, from WebTIS retailers, like...

I was on a number 17 bus the other day, destination Archway. As we passed by St. Paul's Cathedral a number 4 bus, also destination Archway, was heading in the opposite direction. I wonder how many other places are there where one can catch a bus to the same destination from either side of the road? -- John Ray

Don't get me wrong: I don't want thameslink to come through Crystal Palace or Gipsy Hill, but I might like some other lines to be extended and so I wander why now that so many other stations in South London get thameslink trains stopping, these stations get none?
