Regarding "Upmincepiester" - the c2c digital announcement system at Barking (and other c2c stations) announces Upminister - so even the non-Christmassy version is incorrect!

Unless it's a disused pink one, brought into Ealing as a replacement and due to be changed to a yellow one as spare parts maybe limited.

This is actually often heard on LU staff announcements from the Control Centre: "Due to a [insert problem] at [location] there are delays on [train operating company]. London Underground will be accepting their tickets by any reasonable route". Not bad, I hear you sigh - but when it's...

London Underground's 2022 pay rise is the last of a 4 year deal. It is based on February's RPI figure plus a 0.25%. Due to the Bank of England increasing their interest rate, inflation will drop by then.

We have those standalone readers at Kentish Town and they are a pain. They have signs on them telling customers to only touch if transferring to or from LU to NR and have a paper ticket up to that point. The number of people coming to the gate line asking to be let out because they have already...

As a member of LU station staff working at a zone 2 NR interchange station with only an LU gate line, I often see customers with NR paper tickets (for example, station of origin to Z12 single or return) approach the gate line from the paid side with a used ticket portion but think they've got a...

Thank you for the link :)

Will a link to the December 2021 be available to view online please?

I'm pretty sure that the train is out of service, and the move takes place before start of traffic.

The reason for my question is that pre-Covid, the extremely useful London Connections map changed size to a smaller version, now called "Rail Network Maps for London's Rail & Tube showing the Oyster area and fare zones / London & the South East showing the Network Railcard area" (what a...

I noticed that today. It is possible that someone has switched them off on the PA system (I think they're using our MICA3 system and there is an option to switch off "Signalling Announcements" and if someone has done this without realising what they are, that'll be the answer). 1632416638...

I see your point there Mike! But as far as I’m aware from reading our revenue updates, there’s not going to be one.

I work on the Tube. Our documents do not indicate an OSI. You can’t have an OSI between a Zone 1 and a Zone 2 station.

That’s because there isn’t an OSI at Battersea. It has cross London transfer status for NR paper tickets with the dagger symbol on.

In most cases, the 'end of day' on the railways is at 04:30. London Underground / buses certainly use that cut-off time. https://londoncouncils.gov.uk/services/freedom-pass/using-pass has the following information in the "buses" section: From Monday 15 June 2020, changes to the ticketing...

Yes, plenty of live announcements, which do make a difference to the auto ones but I guess it could be a language barrier. I know the doors have the red lights but I wonder if they’ll be able to recreate the red carriage graphic from the new publicity posters onto the overhead displays - it...

I rode in a 9 car train from Liverpool Street to Goodmayes yesterday. The on-board announcements were fairly clear about stations with short platforms but a number of people still seemed to panic when the doors didn't open. It was nice to (at last) get off from the last carriage at Goodmayes...

[Slightly off topic] I heard a long while ago that Barclays (the Oyster brand owner at the time) were looking at phasing out Oyster and then London Underground ticket machines would've been stocked with those pre-paid debit cards you see sold over the counter in shops. That way, the card...

From the information document supplied with a Nominee Pass... Any improper use of your staff Oyster card/photocard/PTAC or any misconduct whilst travelling may result in your travel benefits being withdrawn and those involved may be prosecuted. Disciplinary action may be taken which could...

At Goodmayes, you can see a train in the platform at Chadwell Heath.
