    My idea for another "Thamelink" route between Waterloo and Euston

    I am just thinking the time that the HS2 saves (about 40 minutes ) can easily be diminished by the inconvenient interchange between Euston and London Undergrounds to other London terminals and hence destinations further away. Unless HS2 is designed to only serve Central London and the North but...

    why are there engineering works every year affecting Southwest Trains?

    I am not sure for other lines, but there are engineering works for Southwest Train lines every year in the winter months which often make train journey longer and less frequent. I wonder is it because of the falls from the Autumns or some other reasons.

    High Speed Two (HS2) discussion

    One of the problem for highspeed railway in London is , unlike a lot of other high speed railway hubs in the world, London railway terminal is composed of more than 15 rail stations and each rail station is connected with London Underground which is another mean of transport that is not fully...

    High Speed Two (HS2) discussion

    I know that the absolute time spent on the tube trains could be as little as 10 mintutes but the main challenge is from dragging a big airline suitcase down the tube, it's even not pleasant to go through the ticket barriers. In many mass rapid transit systems in the world, big baggages are not...

    Rail tickets up whiles petrol price down

    So it's quite obvious that public transport is much for working / weekend into London or some busy town centres / people who can't drive / welfare for elderly, children / long haul travel etc. Imagine outside London if you have a meal with your friends or family in a pub about 1 or 2 miles...

    Rail tickets up whiles petrol price down

    Of course buying a car and insurance etc is a huge investment compared to public transport. But as for people who already had a car ( I believe most of those living in the suburbs did) then it's another story. I know many people who travel into London for work yet still keep cars in their...
