The camera/screen idea sounds daft and pointless. I'm tempted to set a challenge to myself to take increasingly large luggage items on the escalators there and photograph myself on the screen. I wonder if I could borrow a piano from work?

I was in Lucca last week and saw quite a number of electric utility vehicles (postal delivery, rubbish collection, courier package deliveries etc). There were also at least two of the new Citreon Ami electric cars. The historic centre of Lucca has ancient narrow streets, so small vehicles are...

I put my monthly travel cost onto oyster cards when I get paid. I find it easier that way than waiting for numerous daily charges to be debited to my bank account, sometimes several days later.

There's the Woolwich ferry too.

That's my way too. 1720467029 I actually agree, constant loud announcements full of unnecessary rubbish (be careful in wet weather etc) make for a constant sensory overload.

There are still plenty of genuine back to back houses across Halifax, Sowerby Bridge, and the rest of the Calder Valley.

I've once reported via twitter white lights showing at the rear of a southeastern train traveling out of London Bridge. They thanked me and advised that they would contact the train crew urgently.

I used to regularly travel on the eastern end of the Central Line in the 1980s and 90s and it seemed like standard practice to keep lights off on the open air sections in daylight. Sometimes the guard would wait until the rear car (where the guards position was) was in the tunnel after Leyton...

I use the app, I like it for the same reason, it not wanting to leave belongings unattended when going to the bar.

I'm in one right now with music, I don't think it's a Lloyd's No 1 branded outlet. If it is it isn't obvious. Not that it matters.

I believe there are a few remnants of dual gauge track from the Woolwich system, deeply hidden in a plot of land near Thamesmead Morrisons, which is inaccessible and contaminated. (The land, not Morrisons).

West end theatres have assorted codewords for fires, alarm activations, suspicious packages, lost children.

I've known this train to show up very briefly on other publicly accessible train info sites, in spite of it being a RTT created thing.

I caught a train from Tottenham Court Road to Abbey Wood around 8pm. It departed from the westbound platform, I think an Abbey Wood - Tottenham Court Road shuttle for a couple of hours, reversing at the crossover near Farringdon.
