Looking for any travel advice, as I have to be in Central London (Baker St area) for 7:30 am on 1st March and can either travel from Northolt Park or Harrow on the Hill. Its been a long time since I have taken a train as I have been put off by strikes . Can anyone give me any guidance how safe I...

Thank you all so much, that has been very helpful In regards to SynthD's post, these youths do not care about values, they push the gates open with such impunity. They come to deal their drugs, they probably have a concealed weapon. That's the point I'm making. How many more people are going to...

I am writing this post out of desperation, in my local area I have seen youths travel in, barge past the gateline (both entry and exit) and ply their "trade" The word has now got about and there are more undesirables being attracted to the area. Its only a matter of time before someone gets...

My dad is travelling with 3 other freedom pass holders, from Northolt to Gatwick airport. He bought 3 x open single from clapham junction which was £9.xx. I think he made a mistake as from what I understand he can travel until East croydon. The saving is £3 / person / leg. Will Southern...

Took the piccadilly line and noticed both directions there are blue looped cross stickers on the cab ends. Alperton has been sponsored by Islamic relief on the gateline and was wondering if this is the reason given the appalling situation on both sides in the Middle East?

I was reading that there were plans for a London bridge commuter service coming under LO control. Was wondering what about SWR Reading / Windsor to Waterloo be transferred to TfL / LO?

This really depends on what his aspirations are. In the end it will be down to a judge to decide, they won't leave him homeless, or destitute. The judge may ask him to pay something silly like £5 a month, and after 6 years the debt will be written off. If he has no intention of getting credit...

It will be next wed. Yes having breakfast arround KGX sounds like a good idea, could take some photos of the beautiful St Pancras station should get me to 9.30.

I will have 8 hours to kill before meeting someone at Heathrow. I've never been on the Elizabeth line, and I wanted to try it to kill some time. I will be arriving at Kings Cross at 8am and have contactless. I don't intend to get off the train at the extremities but may do so near Stratford or...

I was wondering if there has been any intercity (BR) or under GNER / National Express / Virgin Trains EC / East Coast / LNER that used to pick up passengers from Finsbury Park on the way up north or set down on the way to London. would there be any advantage to calling at FPK on the way down to...

Can you respond with an acknowledgement and ask them under a Subject access request for the data then reply based on what data they hold. Eg video footage, or notes made by the staff?

no not at all, I just remember the times on the ECML I used to take the HST and it had a good bash but even at Hadley wood to Ally Pally it was still doing a decent speed. I just thought of it today, and wondered when BR made them if they had any tests or if anyone could give an educated guess.

Say on a flat gradient, a typical HST 9 cars travelling at 125 MPH, how many miles can it travel just coasting before it gets to zero MPH? Assume the passengers are all seated.

I'm taking a 10 and 5 yo to do some sightseeing in London next week. The 10yo doesn't have a zip card . I have contactless and I understand the 5yo will be free, but what about the 10yo? I have another contactless card but she would get charged the adult rate. Many thanks. 1687118604

Or x140 to harlington corner and 81 to Slough. The 1.75 hopper fare would cover that as both TFL. There are other buses direct to Slough from Heathrow .

I was at finsbury park after many years and pleasantly surprised how much the area has changed . I remember there were ticket barriers on the top of the NR platforms as you climbed the stairs, but these have been removed. I noticed that there are still ticket barriers at the main entrance and...

I am planning a trip to Sheffield from London am flexible on dates, but end of May / some time in June, depending on prices. I seem to remember megatrain offering decent prices, but it keeps giving me coach options. What are the best way to get cheap fares for this trip, or any splits? I don't...

There was a really helpful chap in Peterborough who knew of the easements on the ECML and one time the system was down he wrote me a ticket by hand. It had the national rail logo. I've never seen that. When my ticket got checked the guard didn't seem phased by it.

Love to see Pic extended to Windsor. It's about 4 miles from T5

My uncle lives in the US, and will be coming to London in July. Both my mum and him want to visit Scotland and want to do a rail journey, but their health is not the best and they are in their 70s and both have long Covid so walking for very long distances is going to be a struggle. Which lines...
