Yep. Particularly at Platform 4 (Down to Blackheath) in the evening peak.

Can't we build rainproof rooves any more?

I've recently started using the DLR on a regular basis. There is a strange truncation in the message that advises when the platform at the next station is too short for the whole length of the train. For example: "The next stop is Elverson Road. Light, please move towards the centre of the...

Travelled it today on the 2C08 DFD-CHX. Exciting!

Thanks for replies. Sorry, I don't know the proper names for the various areas. I just know that the signage directing folk to the Tube 'broke down' en route. Not impressed.

The last time I changed from a SE train at LBG onto the Tube (a couple of weeks ago) I found the signage to be not very good. It seemed to peter out at one stage - it wasn't obvious that you had to go through some sort of shopping arcade. Will NR <-> Tube access improve after the rebuild?

Is Jan 18 when SE trains start to use the Bermondsey Diveunder?

Was never used once the Romans had vacated their villa. *Gets coat*

Thanks

One thing I've noticed about RTT is that when an incoming train to CHX arrives at a different platform than was planned (so the new platform number shows in red), the platform number of the corresponding outgoing service doesn't update (and go red) until some time later, usually just before the...

Ah! That explains it. I assumed that the fare from "Boundary Zone X" to a station in Zone X+1 is the same as the fare from the "last station in Zone X". Many thanks.

Thanks, both. I don't think it has been loaded - presumably this has to be done each year when I buy the TC? I did have it done a few years ago at Westminster tube station (when there was still a ticket office). I will ask them to do this at the machine. So, the fares I was charged are...

I’m trying to work out how the “off-Travelcard” fares that I was charged yesterday (Friday) were calculated. I have an Annual Oyster TC for Zones 1-4 (with Gold Card). I also have some PAYG credit on my TC for the odd out of Zone journey. My usual home journey is Charing Cross to Eltham, but...

The Bexleyheath - CHX line was fine and dandy this morning :D

Copy that.
