I submitted a LU customer charter refund form on March 14th after being delayed on the Northern line at Old Street after the train I was on was taken out of service and then the second train I boarded had a TBTC error meaning the train didn't stop at any station until Elephant & Castle, which...

Is it common during delays for some Sutton terminators to run fast between there and West Croydon as I experienced today?

I was on the service affected and some of the story isn't true. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2581381/Passengers-trapped-runaway-Tube-train-ran-four-stations-without-stopping-rush-hour.html Where the Mail got the story incorrect is that the train did stop at Moorgate to pick up...

Disabled passengers on LO no longer have to pre-book 24 hours in advance to gain access to the ramp to board their services. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-26574683 BBC London tv news had a report tonight where the disability campaigner attempted to use the ELL between...

I noticed tonight when topping up my Oyster at Forest Hill that there is a new 'Refund' button on the same screen which shows the PAYG balance and tickets on your Oyster card. I wonder if this is to bring LO in line with LU's POM's and conveniently enables the LU managed Bakerloo DC stations...

With the abolition of off-peak Z1-2 and 1-4 one day travelcards, as I was waiting in the ticket hall for my train to keep warm, I observed a young woman who used the TVM to buy an Anytime Zone 1-3 OD Travelcard at 1400 and then realised she'd mistakenly bought that instead of the Off-Peak Z1-6...

Is the Not Via London CDR valid via Clapham Junction, or do I have to travel via West Croydon and Sutton?

Despite the fact Clapham Junction is a fair walk across from the SWT to the Southern platforms, I boarded the 1615 from Richmond to Clapham Junction to change for a service to Forest Hill. Now according to NRE, they suggested I board the fast to East Croydon and then back up to Forest Hill that...

When the RPI was checking tickets on the GA Shenfield metro service to Liverpool Street this afternoon on my return from Romford, the reader went red instead of green, but continued to let me travel with no issues. I touched in correctly at Romford station and was charged the correct...

I'm going to Romford on the 2nd December to visit the Christmas French Market. Now, I'm sure I have the Oyster prices correct by getting the cheapest fare by touching the pink reader at Canada Water or Whitechapel which is fine which is the NR 2-6 rate. However there are 8tph to Romford...

Not very surprising low patronage on the Boris Cable Car according to this report, thanks to the lack of integrated ticketing. http://snipelondon.com/scoop/only-four-regular-commuters-using-emirates-air-line-cable-car-tfl-admits

Over the last week, I've had issues signing into Oyster Online. I did try and contact TfL with my concerns, but with not much help from their side. The issue appears to be with two URL's TfL are using for the sign in page. If the URL has "oyster.tfl.gov.uk" It won't let me sign in...

When logging into Oyster Online, it asked me to update my details, including a new password, security question and give them a six digit code which I'll have to use when contacting the Oyster Helpline. They also claim they'll be changes to Oyster Online in the near future, which will probably...

As part of escalator renewal work, the deep level platforms at Embankment will close from January 8th for 43 weeks. The Circle and District sub-surface platforms will continue to be open and it appears OSI's will be extended at Waterloo and Charing Cross during the works...

I noticed a new yellow validator at Surrey Quays walking towards Platform 2, although I thought they were getting a pink validator? The LCD display showed the interchange function. This isn't the validator which is normally covered up.
