    Ah, my mistake then, apologies.

    trainpal railcard download

    Might also be worth taking a screenshot of the railcard, if the app is ever "down" for whatever reason. EDIT: No point. See below.

    Cheapest ticket search over 7 day period?

    I thought brfares.com was meant for this or maybe I misunderstood the question?

    Are there any good scenic views on the underground when it is above ground?

    Just wondering whether there are any scenic/good views anyone would recommend? The district line over the Thames is one at the top of my head. Any others?

    London Buses Discussion

    I am disappointed the new X183 route reduces frequencies to both North Harrow and Pinner. The H18/H19 is already not a very frequent bus and so residents of North Harrow really lose out here, particularly due to the roundabout nature the H9/H10 takes from Harrow. I guess needs be for the...

    Boundary Extension Fare - London to Maidstone East

    Thanks. Will there not be an issue with not having "tapped out" for the journey to Maidstone and then not having "tapped in" for the journey from Maidstone?

    Boundary Extension Fare - London to Maidstone East

    Thanks, I found that weekender fare on National rail. Would I need to ask the barrier staff to let me through in London? After reading some of the posts on the forums, bit worried about that bit. Good to know about advance fares!

    Boundary Extension Fare - London to Maidstone East

    Have disabled freedom pass. I've looked up on BR Fares. Want to travel on Friday 7th and return Sunday 9th. Am I right in thinking the cheapest fare is this one: https://www.brfares.com/!faredetail?orig=0072&dest=MDE&grpd=0437&tkt=CDR&period=20230703 Just want to travel from any London...

    What would a "pro-growth" rail agenda look like?

    My own suggestions (many are definitely myself being selfish): All trains need air conditioning, regardless of whether they are metro or long distance. People need to feel comfortable inside the trains. All long distance trains need toilets. I think Crossrail trains should have had toilets. All...

    Projects you'd build but will (probably) never happen

    It really bothers me that Park Royal and Hanger Lane were never properly linked in London. I know you can walk it, I know the stations are a little too far away, but still...

    Worst Tube Line?

    Central line is the worst. Regularly packed, no air con and always busy. The seats at the ends of the carriages are also rubbish too and no one is able to sit properly on them.

    Can deep tube Underground trains run on other lines normally?

    I'm sure I've seen a photo somewhere of a Piccadilly line train at West Kensington and then Earl's Court district but maybe I just dreamt that?? Not quite related but interesting I think: Fast Met line trains occasionally go down the slow lines both from Moor Park-Harrow and Harrow-Wembley...
