Paul Waugh, Deputy Political Editor London Evening Standard writes today quote BRITAIN'S most senior rail chief has claimed that he needs London's £16billion Crossrail project "like a hole in the head", a secret report has revealed.

There are some streetlamps at the end of Camden Road which consist of a pole with a horizontal arm on top. The long end of the arm holds the main lamp: the short end pointing the other way has a faint blue light on it. What's that about?

Living in Scotland I come south only a few times a year. When I do I usually buy ODTCs It is not unknown for me to enter a LU station, perhaps to a have a look round, or maybe I change my mind and decide to use a different route, perhaps a bus, or maybe it's just because the service is screwed up, so I exit again without having travelled. In these circumstances if the ODTC does not allow...

According to http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/livetravelnews/realtime/tube/track-closures.pdf , the Met will be closed on 18-19 July from "Harrow-on-the-Hill to Croxley/Rickmansworth". Does this mean a shuttle train will run between Watford and Croxley?

So my wife has got stuck because of the victoria line being down. Just how many "signal" failures per day are there? Would it not be possible to design something which doesn't fail quite so damn often and also design procedures so reversing trains doesn't take forever so at least the rest of the line can continue running some semblance of a service?

I've noticed several types of buses which have had the 'business end' of iBus fitted, and make the correct announcements (and have that little blue and yellow sticker in the windscreen), but have no interior LED displays - the long Darts on my local route 227 are one example, and the Citaro artics on the 436 are another. I wonder whether a) these types fall into the 'too difficult' category...

This talk about Thameslink ATO got me thinking - the Jubilee line was closed over the festive season - was this something to do with ATO. If so, does that mean ATO is now up-and-running on the Jubilee? If so, then have there been any noticeable improvement in speeeds - I always seem to remember trains crawling into stations - particularly those with Platform Edge Doors - and there always...

Seems that theres been a failure this morning between T123 and T5 according to the traffic news. Can't even virtually brand new signals work without failing on this system? Whats the reason, cheap components, poor maintenance, bad design? B2003

For the past year or so I have been getting Travel Warrants from work to exchange for One-Day Travelcards (zones 1-6) for my travel into London from the suburbs for work matters. For most of the year I knew the dates I'd be travelling well in advance so would typically get warrants for all the dates for a whole month (about seven dates, usually), then take them to my local station and exchange...

Since June last year I've been commuting in to work from Ladywell to Charing Cross each morning. Up until recently, the service was ideal. Almost never late, the odd cancellation but generally no problems. However, in the last couple of weeks, since the big snow, the service on this line seems to have collapsed. Almost every morning there has been a cancelled train, or short stock, or long...

Hi all, Someone has emailed me asking where I got the following images.. http://www.geocities.com/athens/acropolis/7069/ltpicc.gif http://www.geocities.com/athens/acropolis/7069/ltmonu.jpg Since I scanned them more than a decade ago, I can't remember. Does anyone know the books in question?

Because of some issues with my bicycle I decided to come to my mother's in Putney on the District Line tonight and found a right shambles. It took me twice as long, about an hour, as it took to cycle the other way this morning. I got to St James's Park just after 19:00 (where I was a bit surprised and relieved to find my Cambridge-U1234 Off Peak Return of yesterday was accepted by the...
