Finally received a response to my complaint, which I paste below and an increased £20 gesture (big deal!) The episode doesn't show TfL, Southern Trains, or the bus staff at Croydon Station in a good light! """ I can confirm that we didn’t procure Rail Replacement Buses for the closure...

Thanks for replies - There's a lot of very knowledgeable forumites /?insiders I did, indeed, look at all sources of information - in particular the TFL status page, a screenshot of which I attach. Any innocent traveller would read that there was a replacement service from New Cross Gate to...

I'm posting this under "London Underground" as the issue is about TFL and their approach to rail replacement busses, which presumably is consistent with London Underground. On 12 May I was travelling from West Croydon to Wapping, and saw on the TFL website on the "status" page that the...

I did make an FOI request to find out the amount of journeys between Wapping and Rotherhithe on the Overground, and received back what I've pasted below. The number of daily journeys seem very small to me (compared to other journeys on the network) In 2019, say, there were 176 journeys daily...

We now live in an age where any minor official (or random website) feels empowered to ask for all personal data, and the younger generation has grown up with the idea that you must give over your data at any time to any person. As more and more people do do this, the minority who may rightly...

Thanks for all the comments. Drawing them all together, one could say that maybe the Rotherhithe tunnel may well become a pedestrian/cycle one (like the Greenwich and Woolwich foot tunnels) in a decade or two. - If it becomes unmanageably costly to enact repairs so that motor vehicles can use...

Yes, thanks But they are major very expensive projects!

Thats' interesting. Are you able to say what options are being discussed?

Thanks for all the comments. Building new bridges and making/altering tunnels , though, is costly and would take a lot of time. But the Overground is already in position, wouldn't cost much at all to adapt to fee-free between Wapping and Rotherhithe, and could be done at a small loss of...

The issue of river crossings east of Tower Bridge in London is a long-standing one. Multibillion pound plans have been put forward to try and improve this area of transport. But I have a novel, low cost idea which would help address crossings (albeit in a more limited way) between the London...

Yes, I found a system weakness and initially tested it and then unwisely exploited it on a few occasions. I won't post the actual details of the weakness on a public forum as it may incriminate me and also publicise it for misuse by others. It started as an experiment, it hasn't happened for...

Yes thanks. I haven't for at least a year, and will not do so again. This thread is for any future possible repercussions

Many thanks for all the observations above. My "issue" is at present hypothetical and I have had no correspondence at all from TFL (but I'm just trying to understand the various positions in case) It seems that I cannot be tried under RoRA or byelaws as any incident occurred more than 6...

A new thread has been started by an established member (as above) I haven't been contacted at all but am apprehensive about being contacted. - though if the 6 month limit rule is applied, I shouldn't have to worry

Mod Note: Posts #1 - #9 originally from two threads found here and here. Please can anyone confirm whether TFL can prosecute for any incidents that occurred more than 6 months ago? And point to the relevant legislation? I may have "gamed" Oyster card features (more about testing the system...
