Would this be why I've seen a number of route 200s with their number on a piece of paper stuck to the outside of the destination board on the bus?

They seem to be on the 455s now - took me by surprise when I heard them the other day! Find it odd that they've taken the effort to replace them on a stock that (in theory at least!) will be replaced in the next couple of years.

Devil's Advocate for a moment, with that reasoning you could argue that Waterloo is two stations given that the W&C has no behind-the-barrier link with the Bakerloo, Northern, or Jubilee lines. I am of course not being completely serious there - in fact, I'd argue a case for the 'East' to be...

Pardon my ignorance, but SX?

Interesting map. Seems that Hammersmith & Fulham is the only borough that is solely within one zone (Z2) - although there might be a bit of Z3 where it meets Ealing and Brent boroughs (difficult to see if there's any yellow there or whether it's just the image compression)

I used to work in the building next to the Shard, and some of the winter evening views over the station were great. I thought I had one which had the Shard in it as well, but couldn't find it so you'll have to make do with this photo instead...

This is going to sound like a stupid question (because, let's face it, it is a stupid question!), but do modern units have the ability to open both sides of doors at the same time? Or is there some sort of interlocking that prevents this? I expect that in no small part, the dispatch procedure...

I appreciate how Wity you are being.

You say that, but during major disruption (the heavy windstorm a few months back for example), I did see - amongst all the TREEs and NOGOs - an ITS- -ALL F%KD (my censoring)...

If we're adding needless pedantry... "Welcome aboard the Southern service to London Victoria." So this is the only one is it? "... this Southern service..." is what it should be.

Just thinking, this gives Exeter nine stations - St Davids, Central, St James' Park, Pinhoe, Digby & Sowton, St Thomas, Polesole Bridge, Newcourt, and now Marsh Barton. Not bad for what is a relatively small city!

Nothing showing on RTT - shame, but not necessarily surprising! (Slightly disappointed that I'm not in work today as Waterloo is my commute - but it'd be absolute (but organised) chaos I expect!)

St Budeaux Ferry Road and St Budeaux Victoria Road maybe on a closeness:route mileage ratio

You might be able to include Queenstown Road Battersea in this if you're not limited to just a 4-track railway.

... So, did you miss the bit where I said I visited three stations (well, two ticket offices), asked for what I wanted, and was turned away?

Yeah, that's what I've done, and to be fair the process wasn't difficult to do. But the point is shouldn't it be possible to be able to do this at a station? Or - as it was only a year ago - via a third party retailer that chances are a vast majority of companies use for their rail travel...

Interesting, the email I received from thetrainline said: "The Rail Delivery Group have withdrawn the option for paper season travelcards for exclusive travel within the London zones from June 2022. As such, we are unable to process your order." (I mistakenly said ATOC in my original post)...

Before I get into this, be aware that this is a vent as much as anything else, and there's a TL;DR at the bottom. So. Back in March, my annual Z1-6 season ticket, on an Oyster card, purchased through a work season ticket loan scheme, which runs via thetrainline*, ended. On reapplying for it...

There are another two bridges between the A240 and A2043 ones; both are now pedestrian only but at least one was originally a road bridge (Dewsbury Gardens, between Stoneleigh and Worcester Park) - I think the one the other side of Stoneleigh might have been too, but it's a bit more difficult to...

Not necessarily out of copyright. The composition itself might well be, but the recordings most likely will still be in copyright and chances are the PPL and PRS licences will still have to be paid.
