The station that I wanted to touch out at had a complete power failure. I touched in at my origin, but at the exit station, the barriers were all open, there was no power supply to the gateline. Some LU staff were there and I asked them what happens, and they said the system will do it for me...

I had a very strange experience the last few weeks using buses in London, having not used one in 20 years. I thought it was customary to press the bell once. Maybe it's London and and people not understanding the system, but the constant double / triple / quadruple pressing of the bell is...

The service on the Piccadilly line has not been great post covid. It’s normal to wait 15 mins. There are times waiting at Acton Town for there to be 2 or sometimes 3 Northfields terminators. I get on one hoping there might be a service originating at Northfields going to Heathrow but this never...

At South Harrow, the westbound train times work well, and on the TfL app and website it will show you when the next 2-3 trains are coming. On the Eastbound side, often on the app, there will be no box for Easbound, only westbound. When you get to the station, it just says check front of train...

My office overlooks south harrow station and the car park where the contractors are based. Over the last year I have seen the progress, however I am very disappointed with the lack of progress and the speed. I hardly see many people on the sidings doing the actual work, and they are mostly...

When crossrail opens those that are travelling from Amersham / Aylesbury going to Excel have 2 options 1) Jubilee line to canning town and then DLR. 2) Cross rail from Bond Street, or possibly Canary Wharf and then crossrail. Which journey will be faster and by how much? The Jubilee has very...

As the title really, From the latest youtube video They are still doing trials, how do members of the public sign up to participate in these trials? Many thanks

Was wondering if when they were doing the ELL and Overground extension, if they could have added a bi-directional track or used the ELL so trains on the ECML from Peterborough / Cambridge could continue via Finsbury Park, Canada Water, New Cross gate etc to East Croydon and Gatwick airport thus...

Due to the current fuel situation I need a back up plan in case things done work out. I work in Bracknell but live in Rayners Lane NW London. Worst case scenario I was thinking was cycling to Feltham and then catch SWR to Bracknell. I would need to be in Bracknell by 8am. Do I need a cycle...

I am sure a lot of you are excited about tonight, but if things do significantly get delayed, then will chiltern hold trains at Wembley? I am surprised they are not running trains as far as birmingham, but I can see it from the staff's point of view, I am sure they would rather be watching the...

My mother needs to travel to Newcastle from London, and she has sarcoidosis, as well as having severe covid in Jan where she was hospitalised. This is a considerable distance and we are trying to work out which has the least congestion in terms of pax 1) Train, not sure what the air filtration...

Can someone shed any light what they are doing in South Harrow. They are elongating the length of the sidings rather than the width. Any reasons for this unless they plan to park a few s stocks over night as well. Many thanks

I have seen some brand new rolling stock and also funding for infrastructure, now I understand not all comes from the tax payer. How exactly is this funded. Does the Bank of England print more money in the form of Bonds and adds it to the debt pile . I know Biden is going huge with...

I think its great that we have new rolling stock and electrification are gaining traction (pun intended) How is this all funded, I am sure it doesn't all come from the tax payers. Can the Bank of England issue bonds using quantitative easing or other modern monetary theory? Would love to hear...

I could not find my answer, but perhaps those with an engineering or electrical background may be able to answer this. Say if flooding immerses all 3 rails underwater, why doesn't the track side equipment short, and how are trains still able to run, as I would have thought the electrons would...

Railways were the first to adopt electric way before EVs. I was impressed with bi-modal diesel and electric GWT trains, and the amount of torque is insane. I don't own a Tesla but people mention the torque and acceleration being very good. Would love to hear the thoughts on this and if Elon did...

This is a question where someone needs to travel and have immediate symptoms where isolation without access to their emergency medication which may be at home or a hospital that deals with their existing underlying health is in another town, and forgoing treatment may result in loss of life...

I know this is very opened ended question, but Spelthorne residents have been battling for years to get stations between Feltham to Staines into zone 6. I can see TFL rail taking over Reading to Waterloo as this is the other route that takes passengers into London other than xrail. Same with...

For those of us that live west of Staines and have the luxury of living near heathrow and not have access to public transport to the airport, what is going on? I understand there are 3 level crossings at Pooley green, Egham hythe and Egham station itself that may need to be taken care of. Would...

I have to get to terminal 4 to catch a 21:30 flight. On a clear run with no waiting at level crossings and clear M25 it is possible to get to T5 in less than 15 mins, however by public transport its more frustrating as airtrack has not been built. My options would be 1) Take a train to Feltham...
