If the NLL/Duddon Overground routes have a station at Old Oak Common Lane, that might feasibly have a direct (shortish) link to OOC station. But the WLL, unless completely rerouted, can only manage Hythe Road - which is perhaps a bit too far to have a direct link (buildings, canal, rail sidings...

I don't understand that last sentence...

If that were viable, given the lie of the land, and if it was only a few minutes station-station, that would be a good solution to avoid the need to divert the routes of the Richmond and Clapham Junction Overgrounds (and avoid needing to build extra stations on their lines). Though it would...

Translating prepositions between languages is fraught with difficulty (even for a human, let alone a machine) - there are idiomatic uses, occasions when one language uses a preposition and another doesn't, a lack of one-one correlation between prepositions, and so on. PS - I don't consider...

The fact that you have now got the right railcard will count in your favour in terms of persuading them that you won't repeat the offence - which is part of what you need to persuade them if you're to get them to handle it without a court prosecution. Once you've heard back from them, you could...

For the sake of you and anyone else looking at this thread ... you must assume that any transaction (and anything else) done on-line is always recorded and potentially traceable. This is usually apparent in the small print of any on-line service you access... though of course no-one reads that...

Presumably you bought the tickets electronically/on-line, not from a machine or a ticket office? If that's the case, then they can link up the journeys and quickly discover that you've made many journeys with a discounted ticket that you weren't entitled to. (Anyway, if you'd bought from a...

My reading of the Italian law was that ID cards are not compulsory - even to have one, let alone to carry one. But since you can be asked to confirm your identity, and the ID card is the easiest way to do so, then most people have one. I also understood that if you are stopped by the police and...

There are a number of Schengen countries (including Austria, Denmark, Italy, I think) that don't have compulsory identity cards - hence they can't insist on seeing something that people might not have. However, in some countries (eg France) police can ask for proof of identity despite lack of a...

I too don't remember finding it that exciting (in holiday terms) when my parents took me there on holiday over 60 years ago. Apart from one thing - when we were woken up in the middle of the night by all the fire engines rushing to a big fire (somewhere near the station I think). Though I did...

Surely the only option physically possible for the Central Line to serve OOC would be if there was a third western branch, veering north between East Acton and North Acton - and either simply terminating at OOC or continuing along one of the myriad rail routes west and north of there to give...

DSD?

Euston only has that many Underground lines if you include Euston Square station too - which is not the most convenient on-street interchange. And I understand the subsurface pedestrian link planned from Euston station(s) to Euston Square underground (including a new ticket line / entrance at...

And this is a route which doesn't require getting across the rather lethal Euston Road, as going a stop on the bus does...

If I received a letter like that first draft I wouldn't think the person had really reformed. "Upon reflection, I acknowledge that I did not possess a valid ticket at the time" - why "upon reflection"? It was known at the outset that an invalid ticket was bought. The only "reflection" is...

When the tide's out there are odd bits of sand to be found around Brighton ... but not so many. Essentially, it's a "sunbathing [assuming the weather...] on pebbles scenario (though I've always managed to snooze on them perfectly comfortably).

Thanks for the info. Could be I'm misremembering - it's a few years since I was there!

So did none of the trolleybus routes which started 6 or 7 years ago run anywhere in the centre? Or could it be that some tram routes in the centre have gaps in the wires in the historic areas, and that's that's getting me confused?

Ah - I see - if you have the app, you don't need to be online. That wasn't the impression I'd got; thanks. Though I still like to be able to flick between several pages simultaneously (on paper) when planning a journey. Like you, however, I'm beginning to find some of the (inevitably small)...

A have done, several times.....!
