wrote in message ... Later this year Eurostar is moving from Waterloo to St Panc is there a new bridge being built across the Thames to accommodate it or is there some existing line that goes across the river now but is not used. I only ask because up now I have never seen any services advertised from Watford and...

The awaited launch of Burt Young's official website is now available on the Internet for the public. The website has become a literal library describing his milestones. His most recent endeavors include a marvelous display of contemporary artwork and paintings. He can be browsed at http://burtyoungartandfilm.com/

On the Northbound Great Northern Electric out of Moorgate we always had trains to Welwyn Garden City, Letchworth and Hertford North. Then all of a sudden we started getting trains to Letchworth Garden City. Where is this idyllic home of the Gods ? :-) First of all I thought it was screwed up announcement board, but the station announcers all talk about trains to this suburban shangri...

I saw this yesterday - TfL has introduced a new wide red line at the bus stop on Wilton Rd outside Victoria station, which indicates that taxis and Blue Badge holders - who normally have an exemption from the no stopping rule - are not allowed to stop anywhere along the wide red line. The TfL press release explains...

Does anyone know what was causing the chaos from Grosvenor Place all the way up Park Lane to Marble Arch yesterday afternoon. Seemed as if it might have been some kind of demo. But then maybe not??

I was standing half way along the southbound Victoria Line platform at Kings Cross, when I happened to look up through the vents in the roof. Through them, I could see daylight, coming in through what appears to be another tunnel running more or less parallel to the Victoria Line. I've used this platform many times, but have never noticed this other tunnel before. Is it new (in some way...

At the *exit* of the bus station is a set of traffic lights. There are your normal three-colour jobbies facing up and down North End Road and into the bus station. There are also single red lights either side of the exit, facing *out* of the bus station. They don't seem to light up, and there's no reason why they would, since no vehicle would ever see them. Does anyone know why they are...

I'm due to switch ISP soon (to Sky Broadband, who I don't think have news servers), and so would appreciate any guidance as to any other free news servers online (which I can use with Outlook Express). I used to use news.cis.dfn.de/news.individual.net, but I think they charge an annual fee now. I don't really want to use the Google Groups interface to read messages from this group. Any help...

Some weeks back I asked LUL via the TfL website why the dot matrix indicators on the Westbound platform at Turnpike Lane can only display details of the next train within one minute of it arriving. I got the following reply back today: "We recognise that the provision of real-time information at Turnpike Lane station via the dot matrix information screens could be better. The reason for the...

I will be travelling from London (Kings Cross Thames link) (KCM) to Brighton on a Saver return (£24). (I am aware of the alternatives via London Victoria, but will be arriving at Kings Cross from the North so thought that would be easier.) I will be returning to London a couple of days later, but need to get to Waterloo (to catch the Eurostar). My question is will my return ticket to (KCM)...

I passed through South Ken (District Line) today and noticed a large number of yellow construction machines placed in the empty space on the southern side of the sub-surface station. They didn't seem to be doing anything, and there was no sign of any imminent work. Are they simply being stored there, or is a project due to start there soon? I didn't think that any major station...

After months of refurbishment of Arsenal tube station including a re-tile of the platforms, they've now built concrete black pillars either side of each cross passage. Anyone know why? They certainly look like an after-thought (surely they'd have built them before tiling?)

Motorists who feel aggrieved by the extension of the London charging zone have some positive assistance this week with the launch of a new easy-to-read bus map for London. Really it's a DEcongestion zone, freeing up the city for walking, faster buses, and just better breathing all round. Quickmap's new London by Bus map makes sense of decongestion, helps Londoners survive tube closures and...

I am aware that there is a book which suggests which tube car you should use for a quick exit from stations - but does this information appear on-line anywhere? If not, could anybody tell me where I should alight for a quick exit at each of the following stations: Southbound Kings Cross (Northern Line) for transfer to the southbound Piccadilly.

Any idea why, over the last few days, the trains have been blowing their horns a lot more? I've lived near Surbiton Station for a few years, but have no idea why I've noticed this. At times it sounds like there's a train sat at the station just blowing its horn! Is it a general rule to blow your horn at every station or just Surbiton?
