To bring it back to London Overground, the concession format has largely worked for passengers. TfL were very quick to instruct Arriva Rail London to reinstate the normal timetable while DfT managed TOCs cut services to the bone and in some cases haven't reinstated pre Covid levels of service...

Boxing Day only: London Overground are operating 4tph between Highbury & Islington and West Croydon on the Windrush line and 3tph from Clapham Junction to Shepherd's Bush on the Mildmay line. Southern are operating 1tph (2tph before 0830) from Victoria to Gatwick Airport, 1tph Victoria to...

So it looks like an extra 2tph on the Windrush to Crystal Palace and 2tph to Clapham Junction both of which are much needed.

The railway came together last night. The safety of the passengers from all involved was their first priority and many lives were saved because of their actions. Thoughts with the LNER employee and hope they recover.

I take it there's no capacity to operate the TL service to Horsham from London Bridge tomorrow?

P2P tickets are still available on the Windrush and also P2P 7 days between New Cross Gate and Crystal Palace/West Croydon, also Queen's Road Peckham to Clapham Junction.

I used to commute to Essex Road when FCC ran the franchise. There were 6tph from Moorgate in those days off-peak while it's 4tph now. If it takes TfL to reinstate a more frequent service on the Northern City Line, so be it.

If they're still working, they won't be able to use them before 9am (9.30 on NR) anyway, so are still contributing to fare revenue.

Whitechapel and Bethnal Green NR should be a OSI as well, it's been a bugbear for years.

There are also some TfL oddities for local journeys on the Weaver Live from Zone 2 onwards and the Elizabeth line east of Stratford presumably to protect Greater Anglia revenue. Zone 1 journeys are the same as travelling on other TfL rail modes.

That was my experience of using O2 on the EL before I switched to 1pMobile, a MVNO that uses EE which is much faster.

Time wise it can make the difference between getting on a train or not. Contactless is significantly faster to purchase a ticket than chip and pin.

I believe they go for the cheapest PAYG fare between two stations that use two different fare scales. Forest Hill to Farringdon used to be NR default regardless if you travelled via London Bridge on Southern/Thameslink or via Windrush, H&C or Elizabeth on TfL, but since NR fares have increased...

Yes, they're the models I've seen today at Forest Hill. The old chip and pin reader with the LCD display was Ingenico as well.

Noticed while buying my bus pass at the TVMs that sell both TfL and NR products that they've finally been upgraded to contactless readers, although the display for paying via chip and pin isn't great. They're the same model used at Elizabeth line stations as well. LO stations have had...

Personally I'd like the option to associate my Bus and Tram Photocard to a bank card, but I can understand why there are others who'd rather use Oyster instead. As for tapping on gatelines and bus readers, the difference between the methods is minimal. Even with Apple Pay/Google Pay, most...

London council taxpayers pay for the Oyster 60+ and other TfL concessions as part of TfL's budget as part of the GLA element of the council tax. Freedom Passes are paid for via London Councils who then charge the relevant London Borough of the resident.

It was all back to normal on Friday when I was up there. No issues watching YouTube between Bond Street and Whitechapel in both directions.

The next Windrush core shutdown are late evening closures on Monday 19th and Tuesday 20th May followed by another weekend closure on the 12th and 13th July. There's also a weekday closure during the school summer holidays from Monday 11th to Thursday 14th August.

While the core and Clapham Junction branch of the Windrush was closed, there were 2tph on Saturday between New Cross Gate and West Croydon (extended to London Bridge between 7am-9pm) and 4tph between New Cross Gate and Sydenham with 2tph split between Crystal Palace and West Croydon on Sunday...
