I've been noticing a mid-morning freight train on the Chiltern Line through West Ruislip. Definitely not the "binliners" as I see them afterwards. Yesterday the train was hauled by a Class60. Perhaps the spoil from the Olympic site at Stratford being taken to Calvert fill ???? Could someone...

Yes Yorkie I am using the Tfl site for all the fare info. Just to clear something up. If a fare is £2.50 ( 0700-1900) £2.00 other times, £4.00 max cash fare is the price this high because the journey has been defined as requiring travel via Zone 1 ? If so then they have got the Willesden Jnc -...

Yorkie, I have to agree with some of your scepticism. Consider this route which I do often : Wembley Central - Snaresbrook Oyster single fare £2.50 Monday to Friday from 0700 and before 1900* £2.00 At all other times including public holidays. This dictates that you go via Zone 1 but...

Hi folks, Just a short recap. I got my Y-P Railcard deduction put onto my Oyster Card a few weeks back, It was done at Finchley Road tube station and must have taken less than 3 minutes. Very quick and efficient ! I put the "railcard discount capping" to the test yesterday. Started off with...

I love the smell of ls and ksnapshot in the morning. It smells like ... victory.

Could I use a practical example - it is a route I often use to see friends. Ruislip Z5 Met Line to Snaresbrook Z4 Central Line I sometimes use the following combination ( AVOIDING ZONE 1) Ruislip to Finchley Road ( Zone 2) Met. Line Then I walk from Finchley Road tube to Finchley Rd and...

Thanks Mojo, the muddied waters are getting clearer ! So does this mean once I have got the discount loaded onto my Oyster card I can make as many journeys between Z2-6 stations ( provided that they have Oyster readers and I do not go through Z1) and my total fare for the day will be capped at...

I'm a bit confused here. OP mentioned such : I thought they were the prices of discounted travelcards put on Oyster ??? :(

I have heard that Chiltern Railway's excellent value "Just 15" ticket to Birmingham is no more ? I take it that it died a death after the fare increases came into operation on the 2nd. Does anyone know if it's replacement ? And is it basically the same ticket with the same restrictions except...

Apologies for my ignorance, I have a Y-P railcard as well as an Oyster card. For arguments sake say I have £2.50 on my Oyster and want to put a Z2-6 OD Travelcard ( £2.80 at Railcard rates) onto my Oyster Card. I assume that this can only be done at the ticket office by handing over my Oyster...
