Yes it'll be inconvenient but most of us stop off at services for 15-20 mins anyway on long trips so it might not be so bad. Possibly, but that's assuming there are sufficient charging points and they are free. If...

On this mornings run, I think I saw a class 710 going over the canal between Hoxton and Haggerston. (Maybe I misremember, and it was between Cambridge Heath and London Fields). But it begs the question: how goes the introduction? Do we know when they're likely to enter service yet? Are we at the stage where driver training can start in earnist yet, or are they still trying to debug all...

Viewed from the road bridge, it looks as if the electrification masts for the new third track foul where the fourth track would go.

While I was waiting (as usual) at highbury the other day for an ELL train and watched a freight train go past on the NLL, I wondered what other stock or locomotives are allowed on the ELL, perhaps for transfers or track maintenance. Anyone know?

Let’s suppose you’re going from Reading to Hanwell. You might have to make as many as 2 changes (at Slough, and Hayes & Harlington), to reach a station you’d simply pass through if you didn’t change. What’s the most such changes a (sensible & perfectly informed) passenger ever has to make? -- Ian ◎

As the picc train crawled at its usual 15mph down towards heathrow yesterday I noticed a 95/96 stock (couldn't tell which) was sitting in northfields depot which is rather a distance form its usual stomping ground. Anyone know what its doing there?

I live in Somerset and hold a concessionary bus pass (a "twirly pass" as some have it). When I visit London I sometimes buy a combined paper/orange train ticket/Travelcard. On other occasions I will use my bus pass. With the Travelcard it can go through the gates but when I board a bus I just show the driver the orange ticket. My bus pass works on readers outside London but in London I'm back to...

The data feed to systems like RTT was (I believe) forced on Network Rail. Did the same thing happen to LT? I can accept that with the frequency of trains on the underground an RTT look alike is probably not required but I'm just intrigued to know if the legal basis for building it exists.

This showed up in my mailbox today: https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/buses/demand-responsive-bus-trial/ It seems like an idea that is definitely worth trying, a sort of half way house between normal buses and taxis. If it was available in any part of London that I ever visit I'd give it a go. -- David Cantrell | top google result for "topless karaoke murders"
