New York's MTA will stop issuing MetroCards in New York from the end of the year. They were introduced in 1994 as a magnetic stripe smartcard for travel on MTA services and various partners including PATH.
Like London, MTA have introduced a contactless system called OMNY where passengers can...
At least there's a little bit of effort on the Windrush during the closure of the core on Saturday with 2tph between West Croydon and London Bridge.
However passengers used to not paying the NR/TfL Zone 1 premium to change modes will have to do so at London Bridge.
Early morning services on the Windrush line between New Cross Gate and Sydenham on Sundays are 4tph (2tph to Crystal Palace/West Croydon), before it ramps up to 8tph after 0900. It used to be 4tph until midday and then the 8tph service would start.
On that ianvisits article, it also mentions the Windrush core section being part of the upgrade, which seems to be a higher priority than the SSL lines.
Sydenham and Forest Hill have been fully converted. Incidentally it also updates where the southbound Southern services go to now on the diagrams which is to either Victoria all day or Sutton in the evening peaks from next week. The diagram showing services to East Croydon and Caterham have...
LUL units will only be changed if there's a big change, so you'll still have the issue of Victoria line diagrams showing four stations with the orange Overground label despite them all being on different lines.
It's fair to say the Windrush core between Dalston Junction and Surrey Quays is akin to frequencies on the tube in Zone 1 and the Elizabeth line core section.
The Mildmay from Willesden Junction to Stratford and the Windrush between New Cross Gate and Sydenham is at a similar level of...
Forest Hill is very busy with tourists and school party traffic as visitor numbers to the Horniman Museum and Gardens have risen substantially risen since the ELL extension opened. Before then, it was more of a local secret, but is always busy now. That's the benefit of having a rail service...
Putting all the lines on is frustrating when you could be sitting opposite a line diagram of the Weaver and Liberty which don't use 378s. Surely they could have just put Windrush diagrams on the 378/1s which are DC only?
I wasn't close enough, but I think the Windrush line timetable posters have gone up at Forest Hill today.
My guess is that those units modified with the new line PIS also get the stations displayed on the LEDs now.
It depends on which section of the Overground. The core section of the Windrush/ELL is as frequent as central London tube services. New Cross Gate to Sydenham has the same frequency as the Met line's Uxbridge branch (excluding the 2tph Southern services to London Bridge and Victoria). I...
NLL/Mildmay Line units have had the on-board announcements changed from London Overground to Mildmay line.
ELL/Windrush units still say "London Overground"
