    Can I break my journey from Bedford to London on a Travelcard

    Some advice please. Want to travel from Bedford to Borehamwood in the morning, spend two hours there, then resume my journey towards another meeting in London on the same afternoon, returning about 6pm on the same day. Would I be allowed to do that if I purchased an Anytime Day Travelcard?

    East-West Rail (EWR): Consultation updates [not speculation]

    East-West Rail (EWR): Consultation updates [not speculation]

    Anybody else notice the Draft Transport Strategy published the other week by 'England's Economic Heartland'? http://www.englandseconomicheartland.com/Documents/Draft%20Transport%20Strategy%20Summary.pdf Page 6 is particularly worthy of note. Appears to confirm that the line will go from...
