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...
Save for instance, a London zone 1-6 travel card advertised as 05 NOV 2011 (Saturday), when is the earliest hour can I use it on the tube, bus and national rail?
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 -...
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...
I have only heard of that the latest time that a travel card valid was until 2am the next day. So how about the earliest time that a travel card is valid ?
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...
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.
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...
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?

London zone 1-5 and 1-6 are same price.
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.
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?
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...
