I think with the opening of the Elizabeth Line, that line become the "new fast line" for Dartford, despite it's being a bit hassle for extra one change. Of course, it would be great to get at least 2tph run fast to London Bridge, the most welcomed destination, but given that all lines (NKL...

Probably it would be a big ask for 8tph after the opening of the Elizbeth Line as that extracted too many passengers and left the trains to run quite empty west of Woolwich, while the DLR at Greenwich further take away more passengers. Keeping a 6tph even interval towards London Bridge would...

By relocating the London Bridge service on North Kent Line to Victoria, you are making worse off on wait time of London Bridge the vast majority of passengers are on. It’s actually more important to provide enough capacity and frequent enough frequency to attract passengers to stay on...

If you compare to upping a useful interval of services to London Bridge from 4tph to 6tph by rerouting the last cannon street service to via Greenwich, the benefit there is much higher. From the origin-destination data, for each stations across Dartford metro lines, London Bridge is 20x the...

In pathing performance, there’s more to think of, the flat junctions at Blackheath east and Charlton west are both need to take account into. Given that the victoria service is already owning to a lot of pathing conflicts on its own like Lewisham Vale merge with the charing cross services...

It’s always helpful to get direct journeys, but the issue is: how many? Given that Charing Cross terminal space is well constrained, it’s not that practical to get half of north kent line to get access to Charing cross again, not alone those timetabling conflicts at junctions due to its...

As said by others, when 465s are gone, the remaining class 707 and 376 are not capable doing Selective Door Operation, which left only 5-car operations can be done. Technically we can send the Victoria service to another Dartford branch, but think it would be timetabling more challenging. (Of...

I think in general the issues would need to break down into various part: 1. Given that North Kent Line west of Charlton can’t access Charing Cross, it’s that still a essential need for NKL to have access to Waterloo East and Charing given areas from Woolwich can access to West End somehow by...

In order to unlock high density housing development of Thamesmead central, you need a rail station directly inside in the area to fulfill the transport needs, in which DLR would be the most affordable option. Also, when thinking about the bus journey time to Abbey Wood then EL to custom house...

i think it’s making original intended acceptance more explicit. Cos kentish town - st pancras - london bridge / elephant are considered as inter available fare with London Underground. The same case for Liverpool Street - Stratford on London Underground (applies to the Elizabeth Line also, as...

I have a group of people travelling together on SWR + Avanti + Scotrail and all have missed connections to Scottail by Avanti. Since I am the one bought all tickets and the fellows are not bothered to do the delay repay manual work, is it okay for me to do one each claim on each ticket in one...

19/10/2025 Norwood Junction - Edinburgh It appears that the search engine of the forum site not preferring people from Windrush Line area to take SN/TL trains to London Bridge and to get to Kings Cross for LNER / GN trains, and hence not be able to show the fastest and earliest available train...

I tried to put in Penzance, Bath, Swindon to test for the Cairyan ferry but not prevailing

I am trying to utilise the good bargain of the RailSail ticket to Belfast. However, it seems weird that the forum ticket site cannot offer a through period return ticket from stations west of London / Southampton, but keep on showing error

In general I would agree a full journey to be claimed. However, the delay of the first leg actually does reduce the time can be enjoyed by the op in the interchange point which is still a convenience. Given that there are no absolute black and white terms on NRCOT that split tickets MUST be...

Continental Europe in general have a more tight interchange time and worked. 7 minutes is still doable for first timers just following the signs and in a brisk walk. It's often better to minimise journey time on a "fast" transport mode. Meanwhile, many Swiss stations with more than 1 island...

London Terminals is a term for fare purposes, which gives a bit of flexibility and less complexity on station name printing on tickets. So Vauxhall despite not a terminal but being so “central” to London, is defined as London terminal to charge a “London” premium, and validates any “+ via...

TfL Rail services means all rail based services run by TfL which means all LU, LO, Elizabeth and DLR services. Tram is deemed as similar to bus so not counted as rail. But TOC staff priv gives free travel on tram anyway. Anyway, training on the fine details on revenue is deemed difficult to...

To be honest, british connection time is already far more generous than continental European ones. For example, using the case of Bellinzona in south Switzerland, having the same platform number and bigger size than Stafford, the interchange time is only 2 minutes even with EC, IC and regio...

You probably did a split ticket for Hayes & Harlington - Bishop Stortford and a Hayes & Harlington - Heathrow T5 would be easy to purchase and the price be much lower in this sense.
