    S stock at Edgware Road siding

    I have seen a S stock at Edgware Road sidings for a few days this week and it has been making a hissing sound. Any idea what is going on?

    In a Gatwick Express now the OBS has just said to someone “that ticket is not valid for this train, if there were revenue protection onboard you would be charged £100” then the OBS carried on with their walk through

    TFW introduces Pay As You Go in South East Wales

    By way of an update. At Newport at least. There is a barriered queue with a ticket inspection by TfW staff, I asked if they could activate the contactless and he said yes. Not sure if he answered the question I meant though. The boarding seems quite well organised albeit not running to the...

    Passenger trapped in Elizabeth line door

    Just to clarify that the sensitive edge does not reopen doors. A sensitive edge activation will apply emergency brake and halt train and on when doors are closed and locked and doors closed visual possible. The Train Operator is then accountable for safe continuation via a reset or override...

    TFW introduces Pay As You Go in South East Wales

    Hi, does anyone know please what the situation is with rail replacement and the TfW pay as you go? Do they have you tap in at station then board bus, or just not tap at all (so don’t pay)

    Intra-station transfer walking times in Zone 1: How long?

    Any change at Green Park to or from the Piccadilly line you should follow the way out signs and ride escalators and go via the ticket hall. Aim to be at the west end of the Piccadilly line platforms if arriving

    Oyster to Gatwick tomorrow 26 January

    At Gatwick airport, they have you enter the railway station as normal and queue for buses that depart from upper level roadway. The other weekend at East Grinstead, they were having people use their tickets or cards to operate the gates to exit and seemed to be surprised a number of tickets did...

    Are Gatwick Express discounted tickets only valid on GatEx?

    This was the most recent Gatwick Express thread I could find. Today’s OBS has just made an announcement that if do not hold “the correct Gatwick express ticket” and said that Thameslink and Southern only are not permitted, would have to buy a Brand new ticket or a penalty fare of £100...

    East Grinstead RRB delays - 10 January 2026

    A failure has reoccurred this evening. Staff telling passengers for three bridges to get replacement buses, there were no replacement buses. What was noticeable is that there was no one in overall charge. You would think that given the problems earlier, there would be some familiarity with...

    Removing trains from departure boards early…

    A bit like at East Croydon there is a particularly annoying system at Gatwick Airport. You see train and platform shown in ticket hall area, go to the platform shown, but before go down the escalator see that another train is shown. There are still three minutes until departure. So return to the...

    London Underground - Customer Service Supervisor 2 - Full Time (External)

    strike action about a decade ago put a stop to that. Of course they can always try again. There have been some events where contract security have ended up inside LU stations, but staff have told them to leave and also been supported in this. TfL do of course have access to thousands of office...

    If the PRIV does come in for LU staff. It must only apply to those staff in LU and not those that come in and cover other jobs.

    RMT industrial action 5th - 12 September 2025

    Also that the TfL management that now refer to themselves as people leaders are so disconnected and lack any influence from the real world of running a railway, there is zero respect for them and vice versa. They are never seen. There is just the next hare brained idea sent down from a graduate...
