    Renewing Oyster Railcard discount not possible before expiry?

    That's annoying, thanks for clarifying though. Guess there isn't much incentive for TfL to simplify the process.

    Renewing Oyster Railcard discount not possible before expiry?

    Just encountered the same problem as the OP. Tried to extend my 16-25 railcard oyster discount at WFH. Staff member claimed it wasn't possible as my current railcard expires on the 04/06. My next journey will be from Gatwick after my existing railcard expires, does anyone know if staff at...

    Aeroflot Flight SU1492 makes emergency landing at Sheremetyevo Airport

    CCTV appears to show that the plane was not on fire before landing. Instead the plane intially bounces upon landing causing the rear landing gear to collapse. The engines then catch fire upon impact with the runway. Video linked below...

    Ethiopian Airways flight crashes (10/03) + 737 MAX grounding

    Will Airlines receive any sort of compensation for the groundings? If not I would hate to see Norwegian's finances...

    Cities with duplicated bus numbers

    When I first came to Newcastle I got on the wrong "1" on Market street when going to visit someone at coach lane. Driver informed me of my mistake though. My inner Londoner hadn't considered the possibility of same numbered routes on the same street before this.

    Will Northerns new 195s and 331s be compatible?

    While it's probably theoretically possible, I doubt CAF would go to the effort of making them compatible without a big cheque going their way. For those interested in EMU/DMU multiple workings, the IC3/IR4 diagrams in Denmark should be of interest.

    Former Grand Central HSTs now with EMT

    Shortened Mark 4 sets with 67's? *Runs for cover* On a serious note I expect the HST's to soldier on post 2020, the interesting aspect will be the PR spin on the situation.

    Changes in bus services to support the Elizabeth line

    If the proposed 278 route goes ahead I feel the current bus station set up at Ruislip will struggle. Can be bad now when three 114's decide to show up.

    Would Grand Central ever find use for InterCity 225's

    First of all this would never happen. But the only potential Grand central ECML use for the 225's I can think of is an all day Skipton service. Similar to how Hull trains provides an all day service and VTEC just the one to Hull.

    £150million refurbishment for Darlington station unveiled

    Darlington has never struck me as a station desperately needing a refurb/upgrade. Am i the only one with this opinion? That said i have never been there at peak times.

    Scotrail services in the Tyne Valley

    Can confirm the 13:23 today is being advertised as Barrhead. I believe at Glasgow Central they are advertised as Newcastle via Kilmarnock, feel free to correct me though.

    Sale of two DB Class 67s to Colas

    Actually the trams, to haul them up to Leith and save on electrification costs when the extensions built. :D

    Parliamentary or unusual or interesting London Underground services.

    Trying to give a tube example rather than a sub surface, Is the 16:32 West Ruislip to Grange Hill the only train from West Ruislip to go via Roding Valley first on the loop?

    Hull Trains order for 5x Class 800 (now confirmed as AT300)

    I know it's just an artists impression, but why does the yellow end not go all the way up to windscreen like the other 800's? Looks a bit weird imo. Like two forum members got in argument about whether they should be abolished and ended up in an awkward compromise.

    S Stock Update

    wasn't it done at Derby or Old Dalby for testing reasons before the first S7? Or have I just imagined that...

    Creation of class 230 DEMUs from ex-LU D78s by Vivarail

    looks much better now with the cowcatcher installed imo. Shame the prospects have almost ran out for them.

    Trivia: Any 'isolated' sections of the NR network

    Isn't it connected to the OHLE on the West London Line via North Pole depot? It certainly looks that way on Google Maps
