As long as I pass through Waterloo gateline, I am in paradise.

Someone tell Julie that Terry is stuck outside Hampton Court on a failed
455...

We would like to announce to millions of people swarming like flies
round Waterloo Underground that there are severe delays on the
Northern, Bakerloo, Jubilee and Waterloo and City Lines. There is a
good service on all other London Underground lines.


I suggest they cross over the river and get the train from Charing Cross.
They'll feel safe and sound.

Embankment, for the District Line, surely?

As for me, I am so lazy; I don't want to wander. I'll wait with the
crowds at night.

I don't feel afraid though.

The extra walk is a bit of a bummer at this time of year, given how
chilly chilly is the evening time.

Nice sunsets though.

I'm surprised nobody modelled that. There was a queue out of the door for
the ladies during the IVT testing days, when there was a much smaller number
of people in the station.

They were too busy making sure the glass wall panels lined up properly.

days, when there was a much smaller number of people in the station.

And I wonder what plans they have to remedy the situation? A year on,
and the silence is deafening.

Is there such a thing as a Off-peak Single ?

Yes, but it's only issued when the Off-peak Return is cheaper than the
Anytime Single, and is usually 10p less than the Off-peak Return.

I noticed that the
boundary zone 6 extension was an Anytime Single which seems strange
given the ODTC itself was Off-peak

A Boundary Zone "ticket" is not a separate ticket (despite its
appearance) but, rather, is a separate coupon that increases the
validity of the ticket you hold; it's like a routeing excess ticket used
when you want to return by a different route to your outward ticket.

Thus, if they always want to charge the same amount for the extension of
validity, they only need one type of ticket - if your zonal ticket has a
time restriction on it, that applies to the extension as well. Since
they aren't issuing different kinds of BZ tickets, they put the least
restrictive rubric on it.

I expect that the automatic wide gates will be bi-directional
though based on other stations.
Which other station? None of the wide gates I know are bi-directional but
they are mainly FCC or TfL gates.

How about the FCC gates at Huntingdon?

For each of the two gatelines, the two narrow gates are set for one
direction or the other (usually both the same way in the peaks, one each
way at quiet times), but the wide gate is always left in
first-come-first-served mode, so in the peak it is the *only* way to
pass the gateline in the contra-peak direction *but* remains available
for peak travellers needing it.
