Please sign my petition to urge the government to stop Greenwich council from setting up the congestion charge in the borough of Greenwich. This charge will not only effect journeys through the centre of Greenwich, but also users of the Blackwall Tunnel, as the council are considering making this a toll tunnel. I have lived in Greenwich for the last 42 years, so I have seen an...

Hey people, I went out last weekend to photograph the 83ts which are near Liverpool St being used by an artist I believe, photos found he http://www.tonysrailphotos.fotopic.net/ What i was wondering is what has happened to the other stock that was dumped around the network? Can anyone update on:- South Harrow; any 83ts left in there or has it all now finally gone?

Does anyone know if the north side of the new large building at Bressenden Place/Victoria Street is cuved because they were avoiding building over the District Line? http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&z=18&ll=51.497189,-0.140269&spn=0.002531,0.004989&t=k&om=1

Hi group. I might well have occasion to drive from the bottom of the M1 to Brixton in the fairly near future, and at least one way will be during charging hours, which means either a lengthy detour or the free route. Has anyone on here driven the north-south free route yet? How well signed is it? Any pitfalls for the unwary driver-ie how easy is it to accidentally drive into the zone, especially...

There is an obelisk in Circus Place with ventilation slots near the top. Just to the south is a huge drain big enough to lower a van. Any clues?

This evening I spotted a planning application on a lamp post by Mudchute DLR southbound exit for a third platform to be built there as well as the demolition of the emergency exit on the northbound platform and the construction of additional canopies. When I first read the word "third" I though it must be referring to the platform extensions for the third carriage but it definitely referred to...

Anyone know what's happening - or not happening - at Motspur Park? There is a speed restriction of what feels like 1mph in both directions. On Monday they said it was emergency engineering works, but there's no obvious sign of anyone engineering anything. Peter CS

Can someone please summarise for me, with times if possible, what precisely was going on at East India this morning? As I understand it, service was suspended Poplar - Canning Town, and then briefly Poplar - Royal Victoria/West Silvertown, with service resuming a little after 8, but then later there was a further failure. Both problems were reported to be at East India, involving a broken...

Hello, I've got questions for You. Can I do (have) a licence driver, if I can't do in Polish? (reason is illness)

I haven't been near the zone this week, so I'd like to hear people's experiences.

I need to be in London early tomorrow from the North, before the first train from anywhere useful arrives. In this case I usually drive to Finchley Central and use the capacious car park there, but I've just found out that neither the Northern nor Vic is running where I need to go (Waterloo at 07.12 !) I thought the TfL site had car park details but can't find it with their search box. Has...

Can't LU make their minds up if they want these or not? It seems they occilate between having them then not on various train types over the years. Why have they been taken of the D stock? Seems a bit of a retrograde step. B200

Because of engineering works, there are no District Line trains between Turnham Green and Acton Town this weekend (24/25 Feb). LU have announced that Piccadilly Line trains will call at Turnham Green throughout the weekend. Does anyone have access to the relevant Traffic Circular? I'm interested to know whether the Picc will run a less frequent service than usual in order to cope with...
