This is the Central Line (red arrow) all the way from North Acton to the site of OOC station (blue). I don't see a single house in the way.

Thanks so much. Very clear.

The Piccadilly line passed underneath the platforms that are on the Aldwych branch. That is correct. But those platforms are at Holborn, not at Aldwych.

I'd really appreciate an explanation of the difference between the feeds/systems that RTT uses versus Darwin.

Yes, GWR. Everything identical except one was a Taunton to London and the other Taunton to Fleet.

This week I used exactly the same cards to collect from exactly the same TVM and it refused to accept any card other than the one actually used to purchase the ticket !

As tre2k said, you're thinking of the Scottish Grand Tour. For that ticket, National Rail's answer to Valid in both directions ? is 'Yes'.

I guess the 'No' was intended to be a kind of 'Not applicable'. It's a meaningless question/criterion for Rovers/Rangers.

It would help if you provided the actual quote or a link. It would help if you provided the actual quote or a link.

All I can add is that last week I bought tickets from GWR.com and deliberately used a different card to collect than I had used to purchase. It worked despite the instructions saying it has to be the same card. The only difference I can see is that I collected from a GWR station. I have no...

Can you wxplain more about Taunton (I live there) ? Why is there this restriction ? Which platform ? The restriction is only for arrivals ?

Yes you can. What you experienced is common. More often than not from Fleet I get told that I need a Fleet to Surbiton ticket. You can actually buy them from the TVMs (at least the ones SWT) have, but they are filed as "Boundary Zone -" (that's from memory, others will correct it if I'm...

Does there need to be? If you've entered into a contract for travel in advance and complied with all conditions (e.g. bought the required card etc. with you to collect the ticket) then I can't see where the TOC has any case against you.

What conventional trains use the Nimes - Montpelier LGV ? I'm out there in Sept. so am interested.

It doesn't quite meet (at present) your speed differential but the Seikan Tunnel between Honshu and Hokkaido islands in Japan was built in 1988 and carries the Hokkaido Shinkansen to Hakodate which is standard gauge and freight trains which are narrow gauge. The services therefore share one...

In Sept I'll be spending a few days in Montpellier, France (see map). Does anyone have recommendations for rail trips to take, especially those with nice enough views to take the family as well ? The Intercité Aubrac from Béziers to Clermont-Ferrand looks good, but I'm not sure how best to...

In Sept I'll be spending a few days in Cassis, France (see map). Does anyone have recommendations for rail trips to take, especially those with nice enough views to take the family as well ? We'll go along the coast towards Nice, but I'm not sure which sections are best. Many thanks.

In Sept I'll be spending a few days in Albi, France (see map). Does anyone have recommendations for rail trips to take, especially those with nice enough views to take the family as well ? Many thanks.

If my memory of history is right, the domestic use of HS1 was not part of the original design bases. The tunnel has underachieved significantly versus its original traffic forecasts (which I think was for something like three times as many passenger services per hour as has transpired) and so...
