and the River Tyburn runs through a small aquaduct at the west end of the Circle line platforms at Baker Street station.

Certainly Swiss Cottage. I didn't notice one at St. John's Wood but I'll be more observant the next time I go through. Weren't these stations both on the Bakerloo line before the Jubilee line opened?

I've noticed that a few platforms on the Bakerloo, Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines have the station name in the original tiling (e.g. Camden Town, Mornington Crescent). A few even display the original station name (e.g. Arsenal/Gillespie Road; Hampstead/Heath Street; Marylebone/Great...

There's a handy map here: http://content.tfl.gov.uk/london-overground-network-map.pdf and a full set of timetables here: https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/london-overground/london-overground-timetables Not shown on the map, but in the timetable, is a connection between Wandsworth Road and Battersea Park...

In the morning, I paid for the tickets with a credit card. In the afternoon when I handed the...

Thanks to you both. Yes, I've come to the conclusion that speaking to a human-being at a ticket office is going to be more productive than banging my head against a web-site. And yes, they are Advanced fare tickets with reserved seats etc. so it will be be a £10 admin charge for EACH part of the...

I'm trying to change the date of a return journey from Paddington to Hereford. I've booked the outbound and return journeys separately. The current outbound journey requires 1 change i.e. PAD to Newport; then Newport to Hereford. However, if I try to change the date of the journey then every...
