When you claim for a "cancellation" you still have to choose whether your delay was "15+ Mins", "30+ Mins", "60+ Mins" or "120+ Mins" as that determines how much money you get repaid. What time would you select for the two "cancellation" claims in this example, and why? If you always selected...

You look in the list of trains for what happens earlier at the same platform (in this case platform 7), and find that there is a not-in-passenger-service train scheduled to terminate in the platform at 0648. Further, the "headcode"/"identity" of that train is 5T07, which hints that it is related...

Where is your final destination in London? This will determine whether King's Cross/St Pancras or Liverpool Street are viable options, as well as whether you might want to take a Thameslink train and stay on past St Pancras. Looking at Realtimetrains on a random weekday in the future, it...

Perhaps if you search your journey with a destination of London St Pancras, despite having no intention of going that far, that'll guarantee that the app sells you the "London Thameslink / Route Not Underground" ticket rather than the "London Terminals / Route Thameslink Only" ticket (as the...

Interestingly even though the platforms at Camden Town are split by northern branch (Edgware/High Barnet), southbound trains announce a branch name based on where they will go next after the junction, as heard for example at 21:23 and 22:20 in this "Northern line Full Journey From Edgware to...

The west end of the District Line platforms is linked by a tunnel and escalator to the south end of the Northern Line platforms, as seen on this extract from a TfL document released under FoI: This youtube video by pgomes98 (timestamp 23:40) shows a leisurely walk from the very front of the...

To check whether a specific train into Paddington connects into a specific train out of Marylebone, you could probably search for a journey from the last stop before Paddington of the first train to the first stop after Marylebone of the second train at the appropriate time for the intended...

I have looked over some Single Justice Procedure Notices uploaded to this forum by various recipients. Presuming you were caught at London Cannon Street by Southeastern, I could only find one example from the same company, with just the "Charge Sheet" uploaded. The second half of the page has a...

I searched Twitter for "Aventra", selecting "Latest", (also tried "Alstom" together with "level", "high" and "low") and the only potentially relevant tweets ("Xs"?) I could see from this month are in one thread (which I suspect you've seen already): Chris Ogilvie @Ogilvie_CJ · Dec 6 “Alstom UK...

Crowdsourcing from this forum is probably going to get you the correct answers quickly as there will be plenty of people with local knowledge (of London as well as Dorking, Heath, St Budeaux and Wigan)! I note that in your final column heading the two parts have opposite meaning: "Interchange...

I believe the train did not, so this additional layer of defence would not work: On weekdays the 06:43 from Flitwick skips Harlington (whereas the 06:41 and 06:59 do stop there). This fits with the inspector's actions: Observe a passenger with a Harlington ticket heading for a train not...

The Freedom Pass Travel Map states that (for weekdays) on DLR/EL/LO/Tramlink/LU and light-blue-shaded NR lines (which seems to be the "interavailable" ones) the Older Persons Freedom Pass is valid from 9am only while the Disabled Persons Freedom Pass is valid at all times, whereas on red-shaded...

Separately from the green lanes trial on the Victoria Line, I believe that specifically the southbound Northern Line platform at King's Cross St Pancras has (or at least had up until earlier this year, according to Youtube videos) longstanding yellow hatchings at the door positions, as seen in...

Here is a screenshot from the video: Image-searching the web for "light blue tram" reveals that such a livery is used in Gothenburg, Sweden. Their M31 tram (Swedish Wikipedia link, apparently manufactured by Swedish companies ASEA and ABB) looks to have the same stuff on the roof, and the "S"...

The TfL website has a "Planned track closures 6 months ahead" PDF document: https://content.tfl.gov.uk/planned-track-closures.pdf Putting this URL into the Internet Archive Wayback Machine yields a version archived July 16th...

Even better would be to actually purchase the ticket with that itinerary (which is possible for the OP's daily tickets, although it wouldn't be for a season ticket), and getting it as an E-ticket in Northern's app (putting in "via Manchester Oxford Road" under the advanced search options...

Ok, in that case I think if the machine intends to offer not just "London Terminals" tickets but also tickets valid to just Victoria then the option should be renamed to e.g. "London (All Stations)" or perhaps "London (any)" to avoid confusion. (And with some more effort, the user interface...

Are the ticket machines journey planner based? If so, presumably the problem is the same as when buying tickets online (with a journey planner), as discussed previously here and here: The origin and destination you enter are only used to generate the itineraries, and once you select an itinerary...

Ianvisits published, in 2015, a set of axonometric diagrams of "underground Undergound" stations obtained from a Freedom of Information request to TfL. Here is a cropped version of the lower levels of Oxford Circus, showing the various cross-passages: Wanting to end up at the very back of the...

Beware what happened in a similar-sounding case earlier this year: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/thameslink-case-taken-to-court-despite-letter-to-settle-out-of-court.244312 In that case, the OP went to a court appointment thinking they would only be making their Statutory Declaration...
