Pubs with a bus stop at either end by Offramp
There was a thread recently about the Emirates Stadium, and the upshor seemed to be that the nearest station to it depended on where you were sitting. One day this summer I was going from Tooting to Wimbledon on a bus, probably a 57 but it could have been a 131. The bus stopped at the Wimbledon Theatre. I didn't get off, but I immediately thought that I should've done, because I wanted to have a...

Oyster Prepay on W&C question. by Sir Benjamin Nunn
This morning the Northern Line Bank branch wasn't running and trains (including mine) were being diverted via C+. So, I figured the fastest way for me to get to Liverpool would probably (just) be to get off at Waterloo, and get the W&C to Bank. I have a prepay oyster, and was required to touch out when changing at Waterloo, which I did. On the way down to the W&C platforms there was another...

OT - for the attn of Google Groups users by Mizter T
This is a very off-topic public service announcement for any Google Groups users, in particular those who post using GG but also those wishing to delve into the usenet archives. The UK 'version' of GG accessed via the URL http:// groups.google.co.uk is currently playing up - I think it's a Javascript problem, which basically completely hobbles many functions such as tree view (expanding and...

Travel/Ticket Query: Brighton to Angel return Sun 18th Nov. by David A Stocks
I need to do the above trip next Sunday, arriving around lunchtime and returning a few hours later. I have an Annual Gold Card valid Brighton - London Terminals, and an oyster card with a PAYG balance on it. I feel that the ideal route would be FCC to Kings Cross then Northern line to Angel, but the Gold Card isn't valid north of Blackfriars, and there isn't a sensible way of validating the...

"Queen to open St Pancras station" today by Mizter T
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7080278.stm The opening will happen this evening (not least because Bettie is a bit tied up giving a speech at some riverside club house during the day). I managed to have a quick look inside and around St P yesterday lunchtime (whilst waiting at KX for someone who, courtesy of an inept communications breakdown, wasn't on the train they should've been on - grrr!).

Silverlink Strike by Zen83237
Why is there so little on the news and here about the now weekly strike by Aslef on Silverlink. I gather it is pension related but not sure why the passengers should be forced to suffer. I suppose that when they do go back to work normally they will want soem sort of bonus for working a full week. The rest of the Silverlink staff don't seem to give a stuff, very little information but then I...

THIS IS MOHAMMED 11 by msk2000
The First Muslims After that momentous day in the month of Ramadan, Revelation came again and again to the Prophet (pbuh). He understood now what he had to do and prepared himself for what was to come. Only a strong and brave man, helped by Allah, can be a true prophet because people often refuse to listen to Allah's message. Khadijah was the first to believe the Prophet (pbuh) and accept as true...

THIS IS MOHAMMED 10 by msk2000
Muhammad (pbuh) was very happy, because he greatly respected Khadijah. He went with his uncles, Abu Talib and Hamzah, to Khadijah's uncle, and asked his permission to marry her. The uncle gave his permission and soon after, Muhammad (pbuh) and Khadijah were married. Their marriage was a joyful one and Muhammad (pbuh) and Khadijah were well suited. Their life together, however, was not without...

Road layout outside watford junction by google@woodall.me.uk[_2_]
There seems to be masses of road work going on around Watford Junction at the moment. Apart from apparently removing the only bit of cycle lane in the county that I think was worth the price of the paint (the bit on the St Albans road from Station road heading North until it's past the parking and the road goes back to two lanes) TPTB seem also to now require everybody to turn left when coming...

London Overground - lack of engineering works information by Mizter T
The TfL website does a very poor job in providing any information about planned engineering works on the London Overground (LO) lines. Users of the North and West London Lines in particular know full well that there are often engineering works at the weekend. The Silverlink Metro website used to offer a clickable calendar so you could choose a date and find out what, if anything, was going on...

Apologies - Top Gear by Graham Harrison
Yes, I know, a bit of a no-no in some circles but did anyone see the "race" last week from Kew Bridge to City Airport? Which route would you have followed as a cyclist? I don't believe I would have followed Hammond up Chiswick High Road, Hammersmith Broadway, Kensington High Street. I'd have gone up the A4 over the flyover and past the Natural History Museum. And "stig" - bus to...
