Two of the apps on my phone are Trainsplit and Facebook. Upon checking my FB Privacy settings, I found that Trainsplit has sent data to Facebook on many occasions. I didn't find any other transport app doing the same. What are they sending, why, and should I be concerned?

After 10am on a weekday: £13 for a Network Railcard-discounted Zone 1-6 Travelcard £13.20 on Oyster £13.50 for a Zone 1-6 Travelcard I tried to buy one at Heathrow and found that the Underground machines won't allow it but the National Rail machines do. My question is, if you are going to buy...

On an EMR service somewhere near Chesterfield, a ticket check was taking place and an overseas student going to Birmingham presented a phone to the guard. The guard said the ticket had expired. The girl seemed surprised and quietly queried this. The guard remarked to another guard that the...

https://www.tiktok.com/@jacobpearlmann/video/6784647210391850245 The above video on TikTok shows 2 lads crossing the rails at Buckhurst Hill. They appear to be doing it as a prank and for the fun of being kicked out of the station. It seems those lads are lucky not to have been injured by the...
