    Oyster at Dartford from 6/9/15

    Will make the zone map look even more odd, but then the current one has the Shenfield line with zone 7 & 8 marked on it with no stations. And with Dartford the TFL bus validity goes all the way out to Bluewater. The sooner it goes over to TFL the better.:D

    Gravesend to Blackfriars issues 30/8

    It looks like it may be more than one diagram affected so maybe it's a dispatch issue at Blackfriars? On previous blockade weekends the Sidcup line was New cross Sat/Mon, and Victoria on Sunday. I assume there is just not the capacity at Victoria with the other diversions, other than on a...

    lewisham platform large gap

    As above, from what I've seen the station staff are always willing to help and Lewisham & Dartford are fully staffed stations. At my local station the gateline person opens the gates and goes off to assist a regular morning commuter during the peak, I also get the impression they like the...
