YOU CAN, there is Band A (Zone 7), Band B (Zone 8) and Band C (Zone 9). All Met stations beyond Northwood Hills I think are beyond Zone 6. Also TfL buses that leave the London boundary still accept oyster cards, I.e the 465 from Kingston to Dorking is a TfL route but oyster cards are accepted...

Its flexible, you could have the Egdware Road services terminating at Aldgate...

That's why I said Windsor & Eton Central. It IS on the other side of the river...

Good point. Maybe there should be a Wimbledon event train running from Southfields to Earl's Court non-stop or limited stop?

Windsor & Eton Riverside/Central. Why can't they name Riverside Windsor Station and Central Eton Station? It confuses me everytime I go there.

I would withdraw the Circle Line, extend the Metropolitan Line from Aldgate to Tower Hill (bare in mind all subsurface stock are now using S Stock.) District Line services from Edgware Road would either terminate at the current destination Wimbledon or Tower Hill running via the Circle line...

Gonna jump in with a new one: has 3 three platforms, the two outer ones are used by London Underground, center as a terminal for British Rail. Center platform is not electrified. Pretty obvious?

=D very true

Yes there is also a through train during peak hours from London Waterloo to Shepperton via Richmond which calls at Vauxhall, Clapham Jctn, Putney, Richmond, Twickenham then all stops.

If you accidentally board a commuter or suburban train let's say you could get off at the next stop and take a return train. If you board an InterCity or Express train where the next stop is very far away you should inform the conductor who can allow you to return back.

Oh ok. So were there ever direct services to Guildford via Ascot?

Will this run via the old peak service route?

So what's the point of the peak service?

I'm definitley a train snob. On my local line (South West Trains Reading Line) we have 455s, 450s and 458s. On my way to work in London I make sure I get to Twickenham station early to catch a 458-operated train. They have bigger, better seats and much more legroom than on a suburban 455.

It's strange that this line runs from Ascot (which connects with the Reading Line) and joins at Ash Junction BUT then runs to Aldershot (which connects with Guildford line and services to Waterloo.) It occured to me why aren't there direct services from London Waterloo to Guildford via Richmond...
