When I check RealTimeTrains and Citymapper, the data for the trains seem to go missing - indeed Citymapper often reports the train has already stopped at Harrow and on its way to London when this is not the case!
For example...
See above for example. Negative credit can open thr barriers and that has always been the case.
I really don’t understand your comment on vulnerabilities either. Do you have any evidence for this?
I’ve always wanted a physical connection between Park Royal and Hanger Lane. With Old Oak Common regeneration proposals, Im surprised it hasn’t received more attention.
Looks awful. I am completely against any sort of renaming like this. There are huge advertisement boards everywhere. Use one of them instead of altering signage intended to guide and inform people.
These sort of set down / pick up stops should be banned full stop. Either properly call at the station or do not. Just another stupidly contrived part of the industry which further reinforces a negative impression about it.
I’d get rid of the forward and backward facing seats. It encourages people to put their feet on the chairs. Having said that, the other day I saw two men sleeping across three seats each and they were also the seats for priority customers.

I was unable to get the disabled Railcard for several years, despite holding a freedom pass for being unfit to drive. I was then able to be registered partially sighted to get it, but the faff involved was a headache - and later they did not accept the registration card, only...

It was a miserable experience trying to use it. Wednesday I gave up and took the Chiltern to Sudbury. Today I left work late and fortunately had a short wait and the train was not...
Agreed. i took a coach a few months back and whilst I was fine, I still had a bit of bother figuring out where the stop was to head back to the airport. A metro service (with contactless) would be ideal.
I’ve almost all but given up using the Piccadilly Line. I even avoid using it to get to Heathrow. Generally I take the Met line now which is far more reliable and obviously a more pleasant train journey.
