Good point. Presumably drivers in those areas would be using main beam? In the town, would the normal headlights show this sign up ?

Is there anything that says height restriction signs on railway bridges must be illuminated? Those on my local bridge were turned off when they refurbished the bridge early in the year, and have never been turned back on. I contacted the rail company, who said it was the council's...

I don't think it's necessarily a special fare, but a case of getting charged zones 2-6 not 3-6 as Willesden Junction is in both 2/3 and the reader seemed to assume zone 2? I shouldn't have touched the pink reader, but I went a different route to the exit to normal, and the pink reader was just...

I travel from Zone 6 South Western Railway, via Richmond (where I touch pink reader and change to the Overground ) and exit at Willesden Junction (zone 2/3) I get charged for a zone 3-6 journey. Last week I accidentally additionally touched the pink reader at Willesden Junction just before...

I can see what you're saying. The particular train is the 18:08 from Willesden Junction to Richmond, which arrives at 18:28. The outgoing one must be the 18:23, so I guess it runs a few minutes late quite often ?

Hi. When the Overground nears Richmond in the evening, it often stops just outside for a minute or two, presumably at a red signal. It then gets going, often just after another Overground has passed the other way. Does anyone know why this is? There are several platforms at Richmond, so it...

Thanks again. Do you know where I can find details of the gold record card benefits when obtained from TFL? I can't find much on their web site ?

Thanks. Would that have the same benefits as the gold record card issued by SWT ?

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I am confused. Am I right in saying that I can no longer buy an annual season on my Oyster card from South West Trains ticket offices? That would mean I would have to get it from a tube office, but then I wouldn't get my Gold record card? Is...

Just realised that I've been charged out of zone extras for journeys within my zones! I have an annual zone 3-6 season on my Oystercard, and travel Strawberry Hill - Willesden Junction via Richmond. I usually touch the pink validator at Richmond, but since having a season (for 3 years), its...

Sorry for the delay. I've been able to have a proper look now, and they seem to be made of a heavy plastic or resin. Quite convincing though! I guess that means they're not worth much, but I'd be interested in finding out more about them...

Hello Can anyone tell me anything about these plaques. Are they original? Copies? Souvenirs? Are they worth anything? Cheers

Sadly my cousin passed away last week. He was a keen rail enthusiast, and the task has come to me of valuing and selling his collection. Can anyone suggest how to go about this? It includes a garden gauge loco, a 2.5" loco with tender, ticket issuing machines, models, books and dvds. Is...

Thanks!

If I look up an annual season from Fulwell to Willesden Junction, I see you can get that for £1072 or to London Zones 3-6 for £1208. I assume the former allows point to point only, the other unlimited travel within the zones? Does the former allow bus travel ? Just wondering what you...
