Noticed while buying my bus pass at the TVMs that sell both TfL and NR products that they've finally been upgraded to contactless readers, although the display for paying via chip and pin isn't great. They're the same model used at Elizabeth line stations as well. LO stations have had...

New York's MTA will stop issuing MetroCards in New York from the end of the year. They were introduced in 1994 as a magnetic stripe smartcard for travel on MTA services and various partners including PATH. Like London, MTA have introduced a contactless system called OMNY where passengers can...

Next Saturday and Bank Holiday Monday due to engineering works at Crystal Palace and Southern not running to the stabling point outside West Croydon station, LO are operating 8tph to and from West Croydon. The Crystal Palace services are diverted to West Croydon dropping off passengers at...

In responses made to Lewisham Council, Transport for London are considering adding a service into London Bridge along the Sydenham corridor to relieve the current ELL service which has become overcrowded, especially in the morning peak due to Southern cutting the London Bridge service from 4tph...

mods note - split from this thread Pre 65, there were London postcodes given to areas outside the County of London boundary, such as Penge and South Norwood and to this day there are parts of Essex with London telephone numbers, while Orpington and Romford within Greater London have local STD...

TfL have refunded me £2.70 for a journey I made on Friday afternoon between Tottenham Court Road and Forest Hill using the Elizabeth Line and London Overground via Whitechapel when services were disrupted due to a lorry hitting a bridge at Hoxton. However I'm not sure how it was calculated. I...

2tph on all sections. Willesden Junction to Stratford and New Cross Gate to Sydenham will have 4tph while the ELL core will operate 8tph and will close early unlike the EL core which will reduce to 6tph in the evening. Presumably the New Cross Gate signal box doesn't have the staff to...

According to the NRE website, various TOCs are able to sell the TfL One Day Bus & Tram Pass and not just LUL and London Overground. Is this done through the ticket office or can you buy through TVMs as well? https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/95054.aspx

I see there's still no TfL only Oyster/Contactless fare for this journey, which can be done by using LO to Shadwell and changing for the DLR. Instead, the default fare is £5.30/£4.30 or £2.70/£2.30 changing between LO, Southeastern and the DLR. Either by changing between New Cross Gate/New...

London Overground have two types of TVM's. There's the large portrait touchscreens, these have the LUL POM interface, which also allow you to buy discounted travelcards and Bus & Tram Passes in addition to NR tickets. I'd assume these are the same that are used at LUL stations on the...

Tonight after 8pm I travelled from Southwark to Charing Cross via Waterloo East. I tried the fare finder and there's no actual fare to the NR station. As my Oyster was already capped, I know that I wasn't charged, but is it supposed to be the NR Zone 1 fare of £2.20 off-peak as I touched in...

Does anyone know if TfL will have new Gurmuki script signs once the station gets fully re-branded? GWR kept them during their management of the station.

While checking fares to Southall from Forest Hill, there's no cross mode charge if travelling via TfL (Overground/LUL) services from the south to Paddington, then on GWR using the mainline station, while if I change at Victoria, London Bridge, Waterloo, Cannon St or Charing Cross NR the charge...

It appears TfL have enabled PAYG top-up orders from the website on buses using 2nd gen Oyster cards as I was able to collect my PAYG that I was planning to collect from the station tomorrow on a local bus.

Do I still need to touch the Oyster reader when boarding Tramlink for Wimbledon as I plan to use PAYG between Wimbledon and Twickenham on SWT this Saturday 10th December as I understand the station has yellow readers so I don't need to use the gateline. I'll have PAYG and a Bus & Tram Pass on...

I was in Lewisham and decided to renew my bus pass on Oyster which is which is discounted. However like the LOROL TVM's, the DLR ones only let you renew full price Adult passes. Fortunately Lewisham has an old style card only LUL POM next to the Southeastern ticket office which I was able to...

I went to the POM at Canada Water on 30th December, selected the renew button for my pass which ends today (Jan 1) on Oyster where I was offered Jan 2 or Jan 3 only and was charged the 2015 price rather than the 2016 price which comes into effect tomorrow. Any reason why?

According to Real Train Times, the East London Line timetable has been recast, assuming due to reliability problems. The crux is all Highbury and Islington services will run via Forest Hill. The section between New Cross Gate and Sydenham will have a train every 7/7.5 minutes instead of the...

TfL plan to add an extra 2tph on the Crystal Palace and Clapham Junction branches from 2018. This would add bring the service between NXG and Sydenham on London Overground to 10tph and 6tph between Queens Road Peckham and Clapham Junction. However I suspect this may mean the end of the current...

Can I use an Electronic Use Only pre-paid contactless debit card using the Oyster readers at rail stations? Those readers I suspect are online than the bus Oyster readers.
