Windrush to West Croydon reduced to half hourly today (20th) and patchy cancellations on Crystal Palace service, with nothing at all to/from New Cross. From the footbridge at New Cross Gate a number of stabled units can be seen in the sidings in the distance, are some or all of these trapped...

This information (26th October - tomorrow) is buried in the 'News' section of the website, midway through the text of the second article on that page. Not at all conspicuous.

From Wallington diverted via 154 (and former 455) route direct via Stafford Rd, Sandy Lane South, Foresters Drive to line of route at Roundshaw - so missing out a lot of route as you say. This seems to only apply in one direction. There is a road closure at Woodcote Green with temporary lights...

I claim no special fares expertise, but Orpington is in zone 6 and the NR planner will route from there to Eastbourne via St Leonard's Warrior Square by default. Does the fact that the OP has a ticket to/from zone 6 rather than 'London' not make a difference?

It's not you, it's TfL. The problem is the journey times on the TfL site do not relate to the individual journey, but are standardised for the whole day. There is no warning of this to the intending passenger. Thus the 482 is stated to take 27 minutes for your sample journey at 3:52 am and also...

No London Bridge-Epsom or Victoria-London Bridge services running. Means spare 377s I suggest.

That November date is for another batch of 28 buses for the Fastrack routes in the Dartford area to operate from Bexleyheath (BX) garage.

Sorry, no. Where is that menu please? If I click on 'Advanced' on the Journey Planner page I get only this - nothing about other operators, etc. The exact same options come up if I click on 'More options' or 'No cross-London fares'. Is it the browser? I am using Firefox. 1699728039 Answering...

Sorry, but I cannot find any option get into 'Advanced settings' on any of the pages of https://tickets.railforums.co.uk/. The nearest thing is an option to not have cross-London tickets, not the same thing.

You seriously imagine that the recent expansion will be the end of it? The investment in all the cameras will be wasted if they are just there to check on compliance with 2023 emissions standards. The requirements to drive into London will be constantly raised, along with the fee increasing...

Can I suggest catching a bus instead? Check bustimes site for the Hornsbys service no 94, Kirton Lindsey-Hisbaldstow-Brigg. There's a convenient service at 1204 from Kirton Lindsey arrive 1231 Brigg, or Brigg 1142 arrive Kirton Lindsey at 1203. Fill in time at either end with an out-and-back...

It was not uncommon for the X26 to use the deviation via Plough Lane, Wallington, to leave/rejoin the A232 at Beddington when there was traffic congestion around the Purley Way shops at Waddon, so SL7 will surely do the same. Strange that this has been mapped as the normal route though...

25 mph? Luxury! Wallington to London Victoria 13.42 miles in 42 minutes = 19.17 mph. The down service is slightly faster at 20.13 mph. Not a one-off working, this is the all-day half-hourly service. Certainly could not be driven in that time though.

Bromley South has lifts as well as the stairs. Arriving from the Denmark Hill direction, be at the very back of the train to be nearest these.
