    The Northern has had some for a few weeks now

    Underground station closures and service reductions

    I would think that the company would aim to keep at least one of Hampstead or Belsize Park open owing to proximity to the Royal Free Hospital and ensuring that key workers can get there. Of the two, Belsize Park has higher passenger figures. As has been said, I don't think lifts or no lifts are...

    Sandown to London - Advance tickets

    Thanks for the reply. Do you think it's something that Wightlink would question if I try and catch a ferry a few hours before my train is due to leave Havant?

    Sandown to London - Advance tickets

    Adding railcards to Oyster cards

    Any journeys made before the railcard is added will remain at the standard adult rate but I would expect that if you have yet to reach the reduced cap at the time the railcard is added, the system should then be clever enough to give you the reduced cap once you do then reach it.

    Lazy journalism? Distance between stations article

    On Train Ticket Checks - Victoria Line

    Think I've had an on-train check once in the past couple of years, on the Piccadilly line in one of the open sections. Encountered a corridor blockade at Kings Cross (the one linking the sub-surface lines with the deep level lines) once and had my staff pass checked about four or five times in...

    MTR now recruiting for old oak common (London) courses from early 2018

    Hey guys, I did the online VSE and SJT tests on Tuesday and received an email yesterday inviting me to the next stage! Not until mid-September so loads of time to go over the practice materials. Am I reading right that they will score up the tests on the day and tell you whether you've been...

    Lancaster Gate reopening date slipped?

    I've seen word circulated this week and last that it's due to re-open this coming Monday (26th June) - along with the Northern line ticket hall at Charing Cross. This is also the date given if you go to the TfL Status Updates page and click the 'stations' tab. Much confusion.
