    Why are there no London Overground Lea Valley services on 10/11/22 LU strike day?

    Thank you for the explanation! Just out of interest - and excuse my ignorance - why is there a picket line at Chingford if the RMT isn't in dispute with London Overground?

    Why are there no London Overground Lea Valley services on 10/11/22 LU strike day?

    Yes they do, but dispatch at Liverpool Street is provided by Greater Anglia dispatchers who - I believe - are working normally today.

    Why are there no London Overground Lea Valley services on 10/11/22 LU strike day?

    Only on the Lea Valley services though? There is a normal LO service on all other lines - North & East London Lines, Goblin, Euston-Watford.

    Why are there no London Overground Lea Valley services on 10/11/22 LU strike day?

    Why is London Overground unable to run services on the Lea Valley lines - Liverpool Street to Enfield Town/Cheshunt/Chingford today? The TfL website says it's due to the RMT London Underground strike. But surely almost all, if not all of the stations served on these National Rail routes are...

    Crossrail - Construction updates and progress towards opening (now expected 24 May 2022)

    As has been publicly announced and discussed on this thread previously, the services currently branded TfL Rail all become Elizabeth Line when the central section opens. The TfL Rail brand will disappear in a couple of weeks.

    Caledonian Sleeper

    A question for regular travellers - I'm booked on tomorrow night's Highlander to Aberdeen with a friend in a classic cabin (I know it will be cosy!). How likely is it that we'd get space to eat dinner in the Club Car, given that club guests get priority? Thanks in advance!

    Incident at Enfield Town 12/10/21

    I'm not really sure this could be counted as a success. This looks more like a buffer stop fail to me. The train was launched into the air in completely uncontrolled fashion, it nearly hit a passenger area, and only good luck, rather than sound engineering, saved this from being a lot worse than...

    Lumo - new Open Access operator on the East Coast Main Line

    Has anyone actually successfully bought any Lumo tickets? I can't find any availability on their (awful) website. They can't have sold ALL of their tickets surely?

    Secrets Of The London Underground.

    GREAT news on "Architecture". We loved "Secrets of the London Underground" in our house. "Siddy has the keys!' has become a bit of a catchphrase as we approach the front door... (She's brilliant, by the way.) I do hope another series can be made - it's clearly done in close conjunction with the...

    Caledonian Sleeper

    I took my bike up to Perth from London a couple of weeks ago. The staff were extremely helpful. The (spacious) bike racks are at the end of the seated coach which was the other side of the Club Car so it wasn't difficult to locate it, even at 5.30am!

    Class 345 progress

    Andy Lord (managing director at TfL) just told the TfL board that the software fix for the 9-car units has been deployed and that they would enter service to Heathrow Terminal 5 "in the next few days". And Mark Wild, Crossrail CEO, says most of the performance issues with the Class 345s are...

    Class 745 Stadler FLIRTs

    Platform modifications are being carried out at Hackney Downs, according to this post on the GA website. Apologies if this has been mentioned before - but presumably means there were clearance issues there after all...
