Ticket inspections on the Tube

Andrea wrote:
Are there ever any ticket inspections on the London Underground?

I can't quite understand what they were...

Red lights in Criclewood, Harrow and elsewhere

Or especially at 2 in morning when the side road only goes into a
supermarket.

Perhaps councils and the like should be forced to put in intelligent
lights that have sensors (and ones that work!)...

Can we not just start shooting people?

The police have other things to do you know. You can't carry a firearm

Northern line trip failures = lots of SPADs

So do busses. Maybe there should be a trip at each bus stop in case
the driver forgets a full bus needs more braking than an empty one?

Bus tracking

I think I read somewhere recently that London Buses can be tracked in
real-time to determine their position and hence bus-stop ETA. Does
anyone know what system is employed (preferably the...

We walked from Baker Street to Westminster today (stopping off at some
places on the way, I might add!) and thought it might be worth taking a
look at Oxford Street on the way.

Inevitable Cycle Enforcement

Oyster card online store, from US- no joy
