    Good morning, I know Southern run a few services around this loop as I often use the 18:08 from London Bridge to South Merton, but I was wondering what happens to this service when it reaches Wimbledon? Looking at the departure screens at South Merton, it becomes apparant that the service...

    Guest at Hornsey

    Travelling past Hornsey about 3ish last friday (4th) and then back again at about quarter to 1 Saturday morning, and a 378 was in the depot. Assuming it was the same one it had moved on the second pass. I'm also 100% sure it was a 378, just a little perplexed for its reasons of being there...

    Evening all, coming at you from the 16:58 NXEA Liverpool Street to Cambridge service! Just stopped at Bishops Stortford and found myself routed into platform 2. This seemed to confuse the platform staff as well as passengers, as I left, a fellow 317 was sitting in platform 1 bound for Liv. St...

    Oyster Help

    Evening all, Just a quick one: Bought an Oyster card recently, and so far have only used it on buses. This coming Monday I'm off for a dayout in London and instead of buying a travelcard as well as my return to London am I right in thinking I can use my Oyster Card in the same fashion as a...

    Odd Movings.

    Well, the presence of snow made my journey to Purley more interesting, but saw two extraordinary things you may be able to solve. Just approaching Baldock northbound, when a 313 passed me heading south, it seemed in service and I then saw many passengers filing along the platform indicating it...

    NXEA 317's

    Evening all, just a quick one. Been watching the 317's roll past college day after day, then I couldn't think where on earth they are allocated to! I know there is a couple of sidings at Bishops Stortford, and a set of sidings/small depot shared with FCC north of Cambridge. But a quick Wiki...

    Oyster Cards

    I'm 17 and living outside of London, but after previously living there I travel back regularly for friends and family. For a day a travelcard is fine, however extended periods (i.e. monday to friday) mean I'd benefit from an oyster as I get through a killing spending £5 a day on a travel card...

    Open Access Operators

    Hey, Been reading some pages about prospective operators on wikipedia (I know they have some very thin, watery and far out plans) and I've been wondering if they were all to get the rights, surely it would undermine the franchises. For any of you who haven't seen, most of them centre around the...

    Dutch/Belgium High Speed (ghost) Line

    I've been to Holland for the past three years (same destination and route), and always drive along a motorway that runs alongside a highspeed line for much of its way (pick it up on the Dutch side of Antwerp, and run with it until the approach to Rotterdam). I always keep an eye on it to see a...

    319

    Last Friday (12th March) was at Victoria station about 10:50ish pm. Was by the South Eastern platforms looking for food, and saw a 319 in FCC colours sitting at platform 4/5 (was too far away to get a unit number or see how many were there). My guess is it is something to do with the joint...
