Route 142 runs from Brent Cross (3 in the days of bus pass zones, and the nearby tube still is) via Hendon (3/4 boundary) through 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 and out to Watford Junction station, which itself is out of zones.. so six zone boundaries. I think that's the one to beat.

The 221 also has additional workings M-S until mid evening between Turnpike Lane and North Finchley. This gives a flat x12 service from very early until last bus 7 days a week along the remainder of the route through Mill Hill to Edgware. Staying in the borough of Barnet, the N20 night bus is...

Having been down in Portsmouth from London when I was studying there (a journey I was commuting at the time) and in possession of a YP discounted day return, I went out to the SU with some coursemates for a 'few' drinks after lectures. Come 10pm and I was not in a good way.. I realised I needed...

Being almost run over on the concourse at Glasgow Central in 1997 by a station buggy containing a member of station staff and .. Jimmy Savile.

It's about another 5 minute walk from Charing Cross tube to the theatre.. 10 minutes all in from the platforms at Embankment would be a safe estimate. That will be quicker than changing onto the Bakerloo to Piccadilly Circus at Embankment.

Have had a trawl through twitter and it appears trains are being diverted between Peterborough and Hitchin via Ely and Cambridge. Popped through St. Pancras a couple of minutes before the 2225 Sheffield departure - upper concourse was empty, everyone that wanted to be on the train was on the...

Temple Meads would be my guess.

The bike in the accompanying photo looks like a folder.. given that it was the tail end of the morning peak (with bike restrictions) I wonder if he came in on a train without a ticket and decided to do a U-turn at the sight of the gateline!

Finsbury Park - not my closest NR station, but did have an open ticket office on the Sunday afternoon when I needed it.

My current railcard is a Gold Card discounted Network Railcard bought for me by a generous friend for the princely sum of £1. The first ticket I bought with it was a weekend discounted ODTC, saving me £3 - so it paid for itself instantly.

Two of just over 7 hours. First was a London-Glasgow run in the early days of Virgin when the 87 heading up our train went defective at Wigan NW, leaving us stuck there for nearly two hours. Second was a Haymarket-Kings Cross trip where the OHLE went squiff around Doncaster.. it was the last...

Simple and clear feel, looks good. Behaves fine on my imac running Chrome. Would like to see a railcard option to show network splits and the like, but know that would need a fair bit more work!

In your position I'd buy a straight Cheshunt - Liverpool Street season ticket and consider walking from Liverpool Street to London Bridge/vice versa. It's only about 15 minutes, which isn't much longer than the bus once you've factored in rush hour traffic on Bishopsgate, any wait outside for a...

The platform tiling at Emerson Park features NSE branding. And Barking still has a few nameplates from the era.

Will lend weight to the Castle Bar Park nomination, the station itself has had improvements in recent years, but Copley Close is one of the more difficult estates Ealing council has to it's name. There isn't much else there so the sense of isolation doesn't do any favours for waiting passengers...

Oh yes, didn't even think of south of Seven Sisters. London Fields/Cambridge Heath/Bethnal Green can go on the list as well. Hackney Downs was a pretty sketchy station for a long time but some money has actually gone in there to improve the place. The area has gentrified a lot in the last few...

Maryland. Sprawling, unstaffed, ungated, hovers somewhere between undermaintained and filthy, and in the middle of the roughest part of Stratford. Surprised nobody else has mentioned it! Mill Hill Broadway. Brick bunkers abutting a motorway. No life, just the din of cars (Hendon has this to...

No to toilets and, within the station itself, nowhere that smoking is permitted. The station is also gated now.

The 141 manages six: Southwark, City, Islington, Hackney, Haringey, Enfield. Ditto the 176: Westminster, Camden, Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham, Bromley. 243: Lambeth, Westminster, Camden, Islington, Hackney, Haringey. It's worth concentrating on Inner London routes where there is a higher...

I'd like to nominate the 341 - it's meandering route cuts across no less than eight authority areas: Waterloo to Waterloo Bridge: Lambeth Lancaster Place, Aldwych, Strand: Westminster Fleet Street, Fetter Lane, Holborn Circus, Holborn: City of London Grays Inn Road, Theobalds Road...
