    Bus stop for Norfolk in Kent

    Today as I was travelling on the 477 from Dartford to Bluewater, I noticed that the bus stop at Lowfield Street (Stop L) had a flag (I think that’s what it’s called) that mentions Konectbus X55. I applaud Kent County Council for buying used and perfectly functional bus stops for cheaper than...

    Teens enter cab of LO Class 378

    This video appeared on my TikTok feed of a group of teenagers entering the cab of a Class 378 at Stratford. The people in the video often enter non public areas of both transport and retail outlets.

    Heathrow to Chatham on the 18th August

    I will be travelling from Heathrow Airport to Chatham on the 18th August which is a strike day I think. Usually, I would get the Elizabeth Line to Abbey Wood and then board a Thameslink service but this will be disrupted. I am thinking the following: - Piccadilly Line to Acton Town, District...

    As someone who doesn’t mind a bus journey and quite enjoys the way of travelling, yesterday I purchased a Discovery ticket to venture around the south east. Left Plumstead and caught a train to London Bridge at about 06:30, changing for a Thameslink service to Redhill. Left the station and then...

    Bus Fares - How do you know?

    I’m moving to Kent soon and would like to find out prices for public transport. Does anyone know where I can find that information? Some operators such as Brighton and Hove share that on their website, but Arriva (yes I know their website is notoriously bad) do not. I can find day tickets but...

    More prominent RPI and BTP on South Eastern?

    Not sure if this is the right part of the forum but I have noticed that Plumstead has RPI and BTP presence in the evenings all this week - including right now (9pm). This is brilliant - has anyone else seen this over the SE network since they were taken over by the OLR?

    I have purchased a PlusBus ticket for Birmingham on Tuesday but when looking at the Plusbus website for a map of the valid area it shows two different maps. At the top of the page it says: and links to the West Midlands map attached. But, later on on the page the Zone Map shown just shows...

    What more could be done to crack down on fare evasion?

    I'm not an expert and don't claim to be but it appears that there is a major issue with fare evasion. I'm not saying that it's new because I am fully aware that it's not. But, what more could be done to stop this? We have a few threads on here where people openly admit to travelling either...

    The future of London City Airport

    So, on another thread the future of London City Airport came up. If fewer people return to the city and Canary Wharf would there be much of a use for it? Currently, the airport is being redeveloped. I predict the airport will return to normal, but to keep passengers number up should more...

    So, I know that currently there are no plans for freight trains to run on the Crossrail infrastructure but could this not change? Reduced demand post covid might mean that 24tph are not needed through the core so there could be many paths available. TFL would receive the fees for using the...

    If money was no issue where should London Overground go to?

    So, as the title suggests where should London Overground go to? This is crayonista as, currently, the money is not there. Also, yes there would be stock issues in some areas. But, as I say these are crayonista ideas. These could either be run by London Overground (Arriva Rail London) or by...

    Transmanche services

    A previous idea was mooted for Transmanche services (between Kent and the Calais region). Could this work as a cheaper alternative to the Eurostar? Calling at for example St Pancras, Stratford International, Ebbsfleet, Ashford, Canterbury, Folkestone and Calais-Frethun (for TGV services)...
