I have an Oyster card which I use when I am in London due to its charging me the cheapest overall fare for multiple journeys. Until recently, I have had a National Railcard attached to the Oyster card to give me National Rail discounts on my Underground fares. After each renewal of my National...

I am planning to use one of these London Underground station car parks on Monday 30 December, arriving mid morning. How full is each likely to be at that date and time, please? I have found other details on NCP website entries, but they are silent about when in the day they are full up.

When I travel to London, I usually include a one day travel card in my return fare from my National Rail station, which is well outside London. On my next visit to London I shall be staying overnight and have not been able to find a National Rail fare that includes any travel on the London...

A few months ago I successfully bought walk on tickets for two passengers from the ticket vending machine (TVM) at Oxford Parkway, paying for both tickets in one transaction. When I tried the same thing recently I explained to the staff hovering near the TVMs what I wanted but I ended up having...

The write up in Radio Times sounds good. There is even a colour photo of an ATW 158 unit on the first Wednesday's page of radio listings. I don't want to be picky but most units are Pacers or class 150s, but well done for the write up and relevant picture.

I plan to use my Oyster card for a through journey, starting in zone 6 with C2C as far as Fenchurch Street, on my way to an underground station in zone 1 a few miles to the west. I will not be hitting the Oyster fares cap on this date. I realise that I have to touch out as I leave Fenchurch...

Whilst holidaying at Malton last week I noticed that nearly all of the passenger trains on this route were class 185 units, mainly 3 cars and occasionally 6. However on Wednesday 24 June the rolling stock in the path of 1T99 2207 Scarborough to York was a much longer train, with all vehicles...

After buying my ticket several weeks ago I now find that I wish to stop short at Stonebridge Park...

How can I obtain a copy of the current National Fares Manual, please? Previously this CD has been available from bookshops, Amazon or (subject to a rather hefty “postage” charge) from The Stationery Office (TSO). All I can find this time is the TSO website mentioning edition NFM17 of the Avantix...
