    Colindale station on the Northern Line will be closed from June until December while the station entrance and stairs to the platforms are rebuilt. I understand that no replacement buses will serve Colindale during this period. the alternative routes involving service buses are likely to add...

    Remaining Northern Line Bank upgrades following major blockade

    What are the current service patterns and frequencies running from Moorgate? I saw notices recommending not to change at Camden Town, which implies that there are direct services to both Edgware and High Barnet. I travel from Kings Cross to the Edgware branch - normally all trains in morning...

    Do underground platforms normally have numbers? if so are they normally displayed to the public?

    Platform numbers at Camden Town and Euston are included in the northern line announcements when advising passengers to change trains at the next station (e.g. Mill Hill East and High Barnet, platform 3) etc.

    The underground beneath houses and hotels - noise??

    I have attended events at The British Library conference centre at St Pancras where the tube can be heard. Also meeting rooms in a hotel basement Near Warren Street station appear to be adjacent to the Victoria line.

    Euston mainline to Kings Cross underground

    If it is raining or if in a hurry for a tight onward service when I am going from Euston to Kings Cross I usually get on the first bus from Euston bus station & use Oyster. At peak times you could get held in traffic but I think my record one day last year was 9 minutes from arriving at Euston...

    King's Cross to Waterloo best route?

    If using the escalator at Green Park this is quite quick as I did Canary Wharf to Kings Cross via Green Park in about 25 minutes on Friday. I was transferring from Waterloo to Kings Cross a couple of weeks ago with a large suitcase so was using the lifts. There isn't lift access as far as am...

    North Greenwich to King's Cross St. Pancras

    If it isn't raining you could try Jubilee line to Southwark then approx 6 minute walk to Blackfriars (southern entrance) and use Thameslink to St Pancras. Southwark would be much less crowded than London Bridge. Personally I would use this route. Or via West Ham & Hammersmith & city line will...

    Night Tube

    Route 298 from Southgate used to go out to South Mimms until about 2002. At that time I used a zones 4,5,6 travelcard season to use it on the bus from Potters Bar station to south Mimms. It was then diverted to Cranborne road (& the 313 cut back to Potters Bar station). Route 398 (SUllivan's)...

    Which ticket Offices are still open?

    The Thameslink ticket office at St Pancras added the Gold Card for me last year. Usually a short queue there as the EMT office is next door.

    What is the current situation on this? There are still a number D stock units operating on the district line when I board at Blackfriars - what is the timetable for these to be replaced with S7s?

    Kensington Olympia Tube Exhibition Days

    Going to Olympia from Kings Cross I used to go via High Street Ken then use the olympia shuttle but now that isn't running combined with the circle line changes I have found it is usually quicker now to get H&C to Hammersmith then 3 stops along the road on the bus which stops outside the...

    Step free route from Kings Cross to Windsor & Eton Riverside Line

    Is walking OK? I used Thameslink from St Pancras to Blackfriars on saturday & leaving from the southern exit(which also has a lift) along the river path took less than 15 minutes to Waterloo. or use the Blackfriars north exit & use the lift onto the District line to Richmond. Otherwise I would...

    Northern Line extension

    I saw a report in the Evening Standard last night saying that it was proposed that the new stations on the Battersea Northern Line Extension would be placed in Zone 1 as this would enable the developers to market the new properties as being in central London. Kennington station would be in...

    Kings Cross mainline to Victoria Line

    A one way system is in operation during the morning peak hour to regulate the flow of passengers, so all of the barriers on the direct route from the original ticket hall are set for exit only so at these times the only access to any deep level line is via escalators in the northern ticket Hall...

    London Underground D78 stock (District line): upcoming withdrawal and future use

    Isle of Wight? Or use them on Olympia shuttles as seems a waste to put new S7s on that service.

    Getting Around during the Tube strikes

    I went from Kings Cross to Victoria this morning. I used Thameslink from St Pancras. The Thameslink platforms at St Pancras were quieter than normal - I was expecting them to be packed. I usually use that & change onto District line at Blackfriars to avoid using the Victoria line in the morning...

    Getting Around during the Tube strikes

    I travelled in from Potters Bar late morning. cross platform from FCC at Highbury onto the Victoria line - a train arrived almost immediately and from the platform screens seemed to be running every 2-3 minutes (much more frequent than the Tfl website indicated). only 10 people in my coach &...

    Victoria line suspended - concrete flood 23 Jan 2014

    I was working near Victoria & was planning to use the Victoria Line to Green Park to visit some shops just after 4 so caught a C2 bus instead. Later on at Oxford Circus there were loads of people who were just standing by the taped off northbound Victoria platform despite lots of announcements...

    Why is the met line so slow between Baker St and Finchely Raod

    The met line calling at St Johns wood would be useful when the cricket is on at Lords as it is shorter walk than going to Baker Street.
