Your location and layout is exactly as I imagine it and totally consistent with the OPDC plan. Your red line is the route of the planned Old Oak Lane from North Action which crosses over Victoria Road and Old Oak Common Lane pretty much where you have it. I'm assuming that it will be a...

Of all the various ideas mentioned for connections to OOC, my understanding of the current 'real-world' situation is below. Any corrections ? Central Line - Even though there is room for a station only 200m-300m from OOC at a far lower cost than diverting the Central Line itself, there's no...

This is the Central Line (red arrow) all the way from North Acton to the site of OOC station (blue). I don't see a single house in the way.

Thanks so much. Very clear.

The Piccadilly line passed underneath the platforms that are on the Aldwych branch. That is correct. But those platforms are at Holborn, not at Aldwych.

I'd really appreciate an explanation of the difference between the feeds/systems that RTT uses versus Darwin.

Yes, GWR. Everything identical except one was a Taunton to London and the other Taunton to Fleet.

This week I used exactly the same cards to collect from exactly the same TVM and it refused to accept any card other than the one actually used to purchase the ticket !

As tre2k said, you're thinking of the Scottish Grand Tour. For that ticket, National Rail's answer to Valid in both directions ? is 'Yes'.

I guess the 'No' was intended to be a kind of 'Not applicable'. It's a meaningless question/criterion for Rovers/Rangers.

It would help if you provided the actual quote or a link. It would help if you provided the actual quote or a link.

All I can add is that last week I bought tickets from GWR.com and deliberately used a different card to collect than I had used to purchase. It worked despite the instructions saying it has to be the same card. The only difference I can see is that I collected from a GWR station. I have no...

Can you wxplain more about Taunton (I live there) ? Why is there this restriction ? Which platform ? The restriction is only for arrivals ?

Yes you can. What you experienced is common. More often than not from Fleet I get told that I need a Fleet to Surbiton ticket. You can actually buy them from the TVMs (at least the ones SWT) have, but they are filed as "Boundary Zone -" (that's from memory, others will correct it if I'm...
