South Kensington Underground Station is about to be redeveloped, I'd expect there to be closures and/or limited access during the rebuild. I've listed alternative routes if it's closed, although you could just walk from Gloucester Rd station: Bus route 49 goes from Gloucester Rd station to...

There's a surviving London Transport 'Q' type shelter in South Bucks, at the northbound Hedgerley Corner stop on the A355 in Farnham Royal. A better picture of the Q type: https://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/collections/collections-online/infrastructure/item/1997-10433

I'd suggest looking at renting a room (AKA being a lodger) in Reading or a nearby town. Reading may be more pricey as you're competing with Uni students seeking accomodation. Sites like spareroom.co.uk have listings. Looks like the monthly cost would be cheaper per day than a commute plus a...

I look forward to the inevitable increase in punters being penalty fared with advances, because the only difference between trains in the GBR livery is now a small single word or two on the bodyside... But the fun really begins when units get temporarily transferred to other divisions within GBR.

IIRC, the Heathrow Connect 360s were used to cover. https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/heathrow-connect-suspended-332s-withdrawn-from-service-running-again.127466/

They'll have a surfeit of trainsets once the follow-on order is completed, hence this latest attempt at a paths grab.

Crossrail opened four years late and was significantly over budget. Please don't gloss over this.

Heathrow T5 bus station. Some Heathrow bound coaches use the top deck stops to set down.

First lost 2 bus wars and subsequent council tenders in Maidenhead and Bracknell in the 2010s, repeatedly losing to the small independent Courtney Coaches. The owner, Bill Courtney would later sell the company to Reading Buses and it was merged into their Thames Valley operation (which was...

I found that the stickers showing you where to position your QR code isn't in the right place. It's too far back under the scanner. The driver had to hold the ticket in the correct one for it to scan on my last journey.

Start your contactless journey to London after 0930 and start your journey back to Gatwick before 0630 to be charged the off peak tariff.

As well as the Flixbus work. The green coach runs to/from the depot are becoming a familiar sight. Only yesterday I saw a Railair coach on Flixbus duties at Hammersmith. It's probably only a matter of time before Carousel start running something on First's Britwell - Slough - Langley corridor...

It would be an enlarged village mainly to the south of the existing village and nothing more, mostly on land IIRC that was previously used for gravel extraction. It's currently used by wild deer and cattle to graze, or for public recreation. Any expansion eastwards would not be within short...

No it's worse than that, on high frequency TfL routes that cross the Greater London boundary punters let the non-TfL buses go by and wait for the red buses to usually save £2.50 for a two way journey. The drop off in custom is very apparent even to passengers.

In short, no. Whenever I've used the X74 to get to Loudwater from Slough, the weekday off peak loadings have always been good. First are currently running A4 sheet ads at bus shelters pushing their £6 day tickets offer and £20 weeklies. Locking punters in seems to be the plan.
