    Which TOCs do you think have the best strategies on route design, marketing, ticketing, policy implemetation etc? Personally I like FCC London St Pancras - Bedfrod. It was devided into 2 routes, the fast service from St Pancras - Bedfrod with first stop at St Albans. This makes passengers...

    Ashford (Surrey) - Windsor & Eton R'side Off-Peak Day Return Start Short at Staines

    I will go to Windsor at 15:00 first from Staines and then Ashford (Surrey) at 18:00 tomorrow. I am going to purchase an off peak return ticket between Ashford and Windsor & Eton Riverside. However, my closest railway station is Staines. So my question is, can I use the "out" ticket (Ashford -...

    Is any travel card valid on a replacement bus?

    There will be engine work at this weekend between Feltham and Windsor and Eton Riverside and services in between these two stations on route will be replaced by buses. I wonder that are these buses TfL run? Can I use any travel card on these buses such as London zone 1-6 day travel card? If not...

    Cheapest means to travel from outside London zones into London centre

    You don't have to start from Staines but any town outside London zones. £4.00 return sounds brilliant but how about the time on travelling?

    Cheapest means to travel from outside London zones into London centre

    I just come up with this idea that the cheapest means to travel outside London zones into London centre, let's say Oxford Circus tube station. Start point must be a nation rail station outside any London zones including Watford Junction. Examples should be notified with weekdays, weekends; peak...

    Is there any Oyster Pay as you go fare for non London zone stations?

    Oyster pay as you go fares are often cheaper than cash fares, I wonder that for those non London zone stations which have Oyster card readers, do they charge cash fare or Oyster pay as you go? For example Weekday off peak Staines to London zone 1 using Oyster pay as you go card.

    Feltham - London1256 Travel Card

    I have tried my plan today and everything went fine. First I went to Staine Rail Station to colloet my Feltham + London 1-6 off peak travel card, then walked to the nearest bus stop which was about 100 meters away. Got on the bus at 9:41, showed the travel card to the driver and there was no...

    Feltham - London1256 Travel Card

    Yes. It seems that there are quite a number of TfL buses in Staines whereas it isn't within any TfL zone. Has TfL ever considered to expand its zones to Stains like what it did to Watford? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- London zone 1-5 and 1-6 are same price.

    Feltham - London1256 Travel Card

    Well, what I am going to do is : I will book the Feltham + London 1-6 travel card on internet and collect it at Stains rail station ticket vends, then use this exact travel card to ride the Bus 117 outside the station. One thing I am not sure about using the Oyster card is, how do I enjoy...

    That's what I wanted to mean that whether a London 1-6 travel card is valid or not on the bus 117 between Staines and Feltham because Staines is outside Zone 6.

    Feltham - London1256 Travel Card

    but during weekdays it's only 8 pounds which is still much cheaper than the 15 pounds off peak or 12.10 pounds super off peak travel cards from Staines?

    Feltham - London1256 Travel Card

    Does bus 117 accept this travel card? I just found something interesting. If I buy a London1256 railcard from Staines on weekends + network railcard, the fare would be 8 pounds. However, from Feltham it is only 5.3 pounds. If the bus 117 accepts the London travel card, can I use the Feltham...
