This morning my train (0712 Bedford - Kent House) made an additional stop at Mill Hill Broadway and the driver did announce the additional stop when we stopped at St Albans, referring to a train cancellation. The focus of his announcement was us the passengers - effectively letting us know in...

Mansion House, Monument and Bank are all under 5 minutes walk from Cannon Street Station - Probably less distance / time then some transfers at the same station - eg Thameslink @ St Pancras to the Victoria Line

I'm pleased with my Motorola Moto G. The USB Port is on the bottom, so you could contemplate a USB headset or a converter (if there are no better suggestions) - The headphone socket itself is on the top

Brad465, other options include: Buy a portable hard disk drive from Amazon or the like (connects with USB port) - from around £30 Use your network - much better with a pair of network cables, from your new computer, map to a drive on your old computer - eg using Windows Easy Transfer...

A practical point is ticket re-prints when the magnetic strip wears out / gets corrupted and it will no longer open barriers. If you buy the ticket from a TOC who has a ticket office convenient to you, then getting re-prints should be easy and pain free. Certainly I have never had a problem...

I've had my Annual card re-printed more than twice without any complaint or comment from the ticket office person (other than "stopped working the barriers again then?"). I would say I have had it re-done 5 or 6 times during one year - and I am a fellow Harpenden traveller, so have direct...

HarlingtonGirl, it looks as if you will still be OK with a "London Thameslink" ticket. I received an email from the Thameslink Programme in January this year which said: "The rail industry is making plans to help you get around during these disruptions. We’re also working out how these specific...

Of note is that the image at the top uses the same design and colours as (apparently) planned for the new class 700s: ... I wonder if these will also use the slightly darker colours referred to above.

Thanks for uploading the letter. As to whether or not there was a Data Protection Act breach [see posts by others], this will become clear when it is known which of these apply: The data was available to a third party (eg via a hacking). Highly likely to be a breach, but it will depend on...

This type of letter is a fairly standard response to a Data Protection breach - either one where the data was actually taken, or where the data was visible on the internet without any access controls for a period - and they do not know whether it was taken. I've heard about this type of letter...

On Thameslink, some peak hour services run non-stop from Elstree & Borehamwood to West Hampstead in 9 minutes for 8 miles 42 chains (56.8 MPH). When travelling from London, the journey time is 10 minutes. Off peak, they are are all stations

The local papers (eg www.hertsad.co.uk/news/fcc_closes_rail_fare_loophole_after_sued_by_st_albans_commuter_1_2836807) are reporting that FCC have closed that loophole. FCC are quoted as saying "Mr Myers uncovered a previously unknown historic routing guide error that harks back to the days of...

The WH Smith has opened (it is on the north side, opposite the FCC ticket office) and the WH Smith website says it is open on a Saturday 8am to 5pm. There is a Costa Coffee at City Thameslink (Ludgate Hill entrance), which is only a couple of minutes away, but that is closed on a Saturday...

If you look at this RAIB report in to the overhead de-wiring at Littleport (http://www.raib.gov.uk/cms_resources.cfm?file=/130520_R062013_Littleport.pdf), there is no reference to any Railway staff other than the Driver being on the train.

The FCC Cambridge to Kings Lynn service is hourly except in the peaks (which is more frequent: every 30 minutes)

Often the problem is magnets present either on the phone structure or within the case's fabric. The phone uses this to detect that it has been holstered / put away. Blackberries are notorious for this. I am no expert in this, so it may be that the phone detects a magnet in the appropriate...

Southampton Airport Parkway is also the best station for Southampton University if arriving from London, the east and the north (Cross Country) as there is a direct bus (the 'U1').

Steam Dreams are reporting that Tuesday's trip is cancelled: http://www.steamdreams.com/executables/GT410WebContent.exe?ActionCode=Timings "Unfortunately due to technical issues with Tornado this trip is now cancelled. All passengers will be contacted and a letter will be sent out on Monday" -...

... and in practice at St Pauls, although I can only speak for disruption, rather than planned weekend closure.

Probably. As the "extra" risk will be a small portion of the cover already in place (assuming a substantial UK presence) then the insurer will probably be prepared to cover it. I am not familiar with insurance for buses, but the insurance I arrange for my employer provides automatic cover for...
