The next weekend closure has been announced by National Highways: (Underlining is mine.) Worth noting this closure is for a different stretch of the M25 to last time - this closure is between Junctions 9 and 10 (the previous closure was between J10 and J11). Again, all best avoided!

That really was a different thing - it was LTS (then as a shadow franchise) committing fraud by illegitimately gaming the Travelcard revenue settlement agreement to their advantage.

That would make it impossible to buy a Railcard-discounted cheap Advance ticket for travel say some weeks or months ahead and leave buying the Railcard until closer to the date of travel.

On the contrary, I have every doubt that what you suggest is what would actually transpire. I believe the proceedure involves getting catatonically inebriated whilst wearing unfamiliar high-heeled shoes, and then ending up with blisters and taking them off (losing one of the pair being...

Re the daily capping, it's a great shame the cheaper zones 2-6 daily cap (and associated Day Travelcard) which used to exist got withdrawn, all the way back in 2011.

ASAP ≠ immediately.

You just need to get your highway authority to sign up for The War Against Motorists then...

I've had no issues with the TfL Oyster app on Android.

Understood the desire to head to Shoreditch High Street station re your wife's arthritis. For anyone who is not so encumbered, the walk from Liverpool Street might well make sense - a useful 'back route' to know from Liverpool Street station is to walk up the service road (and old cab road) just...

SWT did away with seat reservations circa 2010.

Re the ULEZ boundary... it's overlayed on Google Maps on this TfL webpage - or see this PDF map of the zone.

Freedom Passes are not TfL passes - they are neither issued nor funded by TfL / the GLA. 60+ Oyster Passes, by contrast, are.

To be fair to the OP and anyone else with a similar query, I don't think TfL, 'National Rail' or any of the TOCs really flag up that said map is where this information is to be found - they could all do a significantly better job of explaining validity/availability of contactless and Oyster. I...

Which is shown on the London's Rail & Tube services map (PDF) - this shows both (a) where Oyster & contactless are valid beyond the fare zones, and (b) where only contactless (i.e. not Oyster) is valid beyond the fare zones. There are no 'hidden extensions' which aren't shown on the map - it's...

I found it clear enough the point the OP was trying to make, and from my reading of the thread so did several other posters. (I do appreciate the difference between TfL rate, NR rate and the 'multi-modal'/ TfL+NR rate - but it was reasonably clear to me the OP was just attempting to work out if...
