Excellent work NSEFAN ! What was the route of the WSMR diversion ; via Greenford or reversing from Acton Canal Wharf and Neasden into Marylebone ?

No matter what the editorial flaws or the production drawbacks one thing that the program has highlighted is what a beautiful country we have and one which possess many hidden gems for exploration and enjoyment. I do hope that he has encouraged many to forgo flying abroad this summer and to...

Ah I see :( I got confused with the Leeds - Morecambe ( ex York - Blackpool North) via Blackburn and Burnley MR ( stopping at both stations) before continuing onto to Preston where you changed for Lancaster for the Morecambe connection. The direct train takes an alternative route stopping at...

I'm not sure about this but : York - Blackburn ( via Burnley MR) NT : CDR = £12.10 Blackburn - Morecambe NT : Anytime Day Return = £7.90 Total = £20.00 York - Blackburn - Morecambe involves going via Leeds and Burnley so could you not buy the above combination of tickets and use them...

Is there not a TPE 16-26 Railcard special offer for tickets between York and Manchester Piccadilly ? You could combine this with the Northern Rail Lancashire Day Ranger ( £11.90 ) to Morecambe.

If the trip was an all day affair then I would do the following Manchester - Sheffield Sheffield - Leeds Leeds - Carlisle ( via Settle) Carlisle - Preston ( Cumbrian Coast via Barrow -in-Furness) Preston - Manchester Or maybe do a return trip from Carlisle - Saltburn via Redcar and Maske...

Would be great to see some pics of the WSMR diversion, especially between Wembley and where the trains joins onto the GWML at Acton or crossing the junctions at Neasden if the alternative diversion is in operation. i suspect that photographing the latter could be quite tricky.

Any action between Wembley - Acton - Ealing Broadway would be most welcome ! regards Z

Superb pics ! How long are the diversions in place for ?

Ditto. If you do manage to bash it during the next few weeks if you could let us know of timings, tickets, route etc. that would be great. I wonder if they would bother with having an inspector on the train ?

Will the train get to Acton Wells from the WCML via the Willesden sidings or from Willesden High Level and along the NLL ? In either case a photo taken from the bridge at Old Oak Common Lane, where one can see the NLL veering towards /from Willesden Junction, would be absolutely priceless ...

You will collared for two fares if using the East Croydon route i.e. the tramlink fare to East Croydon plus the train fare from East Croydon to Syon Lane. The EC - SL fare is £2.70 Peak and £2.00 Off Peak so add these to your BJ - EC tram fare ( £1.80 peak / £1.50 off peak).

In the Greater London area it is cheaper to travel using Oyster than paying cash for a ticket on both London Underground and National Rail, although due to the complexities of calculating the fares there may be an exception on NR somewhere. NRES website gave you two fares : £3.10 is from...

4.60 was the credit on your card on commencement of your journey. 2.00 is your remaining credit and you were charged £2.60 for the journey. As it was at 7.30am you were charged the "peak fare". If you had undertaken the journey between 0930 - 1600 or after 1930 ( off peak times) then you would...

I fell into the trap the first year I had my discount loaded. The balance on my card was £3.30. I travelled in z2 for 3 journeys ( £1.10 x 3) and assumed that my cap had been reached so I would be charged any more. However, the balance was now down to £0.00 and when I went on my 4th journey the...

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/faresandtickets/singlefares/6769.aspx You have to be careful though. For example, the z1-2 cap is £3.70 but don't expect unlimited travel on Oyster ( within z1-2) after 0930am if you have ONLY £3.70 on your card. You must have £3.70 + the minimum fare for zone 1...

Thanks Edvid. I assume this means that NR fares which are priced the same as TfL e.g. South Ruislip (NR) - Marylebone (NR ) will also be available at the discount price ? £1.60 ( after discount) for South Ruislip - London Marylebone (NR) is good value.

If you had a YP Railcard discount loaded onto your Oyster card would you be entitled to a discount on a single NR journey made , for example, between Clapham Junction and Earlsfield ? According to the TfL Farefinder the Off Peak fare for the journey is £1.50, by how much would this reduced if a...

Avantix runs using WINE under Ubuntu 8.10+ ( no setup crashes ) A wee bit sluggish but everything works.

I've just been reading the post on the proposed HS2 plans and on going to their website read the FOI request for the "line of the route." HS2's take on the matter is that revealing this information is decremental to the public interest...
