To be fair, I've never seen TfL nor any of the National Rail companies advertising that capability. I only knew about it from knowledge gained right here on these forums!

I believe* if you use an Oyster rather than Apple Pay/Google Pay for the contactless portion, you can have your railcard loaded on to it, saving you even more. * it has been some time since I was a 16-25 cardholder

I was told to get a CDG-bound RER-B when in Paris, trying to get from Nord to Le Bourget. I did, and it was an express that didn't stop at any intermediate stations, such as Le Bourget.

I think what they meant was that the same journey, between the same stations, is signposted using opposite language on the two lines. Not that the geographical topography is mismatched.

Due to various insurmountable physical laws, methods of putting the locations of objects into computer systems are inherently inaccurate and/or imprecise, and often unreliable (camera lens dirt, fallen leaves blocking vents or circuits, etc). This still applies to modern, advanced systems...

There is not, the developer is a Apple guy (the same Geoff Marshall who makes rail videos). There are similar apps available for other platforms, but not necessarily with the maps.

Siding would require three, wouldn't it?

I doubt it, it's a fairly arbitrary and superficial idea.

In 2018, the station staff strike meant the District was pretty much express through Zone 1 — my then commute, West Ham to Hammersmith, was actually quicker!

The light source in modern LCD panels is LED, so no great difference. Older LCD panels used cold-cathode tubes (like flourescent strip lighting) which consumed more power, but still not nearly as much as incandescent bulbs.

There is a global semiconductor shortage. The integrated circuits that drive LCD panels are a lot more intricate and can be manufactured at a lot fewer locations, compared to older, simpler technology that can drive an LED matrix.

There are already faint grey lines showing the location of all the omitted mainline tracks. Perhaps your screen's contrast/brightness settings make it look the same as the white background?

None of the mainline routes are shown in detail within (approximately) Zone 1.

Yes, the Bakerloo and Jubilee at Baker Street are cross-platform, they should be a blob rather than a connecting line — then the Marylebone walking route dotted line could connect instead to the Metropolitan part. The path of the lines through the area would need to be altered to make it work...

The system is called 'leaky feeder', it's common on LU but not the mainline, which usually just uses cameras attached to the train. There is a coaxial cable (a central metal core inside a tubular metal shield, separated by a plastic spacer) but with the shield perforated at regular intervals —...

That's wonderful!

If visitors to London would like to be represented in TfL's operations, they are free to vote for a national government who are willing to contribute some of the visitors' tax to TfL's budget. It's the current policy at Number 10 and at the DfT which has been deliberately chosen to maximise...

It seems to me that the 'Twitter version' is a first attempt at altering some proportions in order to make Barking Riverside make more sense, they've also managed to undo a little bit of the Thameslink weirdness (though a lot remains). Perhaps we will see an evolution of it, that addresses some...

That has already been the case on previous editions.
