Whilst escaping from rain in Euston today I popped in to see the model. Amongst the features of interest: * The carriages have a strong overground feel to them, both on the outside and inside. * The carriages are linked like current DLR cars and trams with passengers able to walk the length of the train. This may, however, make it impossible to have a half-length train for Chesham - see...

Today I noticed that at least two of the streetname signs are very large and include a map, showing you where the various house numbers are. While map signs are the norm in council estates and are common in industrial estates, I've never seen one in a normal street before (if you can kall the katakana streets of Kensington & Chelsea normal). I took a picture, if anyone's interested.

Can anyone tell me how much bus fairs can I expect to pay? Bus U4 Hayes & Harlington Station to Uxbridge Station Bus Station? Bus U9 Uxbridge Station Bus Station to Harefield Hospital? I understand they issue Singles and not Returns? Thanks.

I was driving to work between Chorley Wood and Little Chalfont this morning and a Tubelines van pulled across in front of me nearly causing a crash. Why are Tubelines out in Metronet country?

Has anyone else spotted the in-car tube card adverts with a photo of part of the Large Hadron Collider on the Northern Line stock? It is just a photo, with tiny text pointing at it being related to CERN. I wonder who funded it, and what purpose it is there to serve, apart from raise awareness and inspire. It's not trying to sell anything, not got excessive branding or anything. It was kind of a...

Just seen this; http://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:260596-2008:TEXT:EN:HTML 'Tunnel Cooling Control System (TCCS).'

Walked through Harlesden for the first time in years today and was surprised to see a trianglar sign warning about a 'Ford' on Park Parade Anyone know anything about it? there was no sign of any streams or water anywhere... although it is at the junction of Springwell Avenue which might be connected

Where is there a container port in London?

I just noticed that the ATOC version of the London Connections map http://nationalrail.co.uk/system/galleries/download/print_maps/LondonConnections.pdf shows the London Overground as still part of the NR network. I would have thought they would have switched to using a thin line, like those used for Underground lines.

http://apps.facebook.com/mapyourmates/ is a neat Facebook utility from Cross Country Trains. It plots any UK Facebook friends on a Google map, and tells you the nearest station. Curiously, it suggests Uxbridge Vine Street as the nearest station for a few of my friends.
