A few more thoughts on the Camden Road suggestion mentioned above, if you decide the benefits of a travelcard outweigh the cost savings of a point-to-point season. It's about a half mile journey down to Mornington Crescent, but there are two very frequent bus services from Camden Rd down to...

For Greater Anglia on the West Anglia side: Hourly Liverpool Street - Enfield Town all stations via Seven Sisters Hourly Liverpool Street - Cambridge calling at Seven Sisters, Edmonton Green, Southbury loop stations, Cheshunt, Broxbourne, Harlow Town and all stations. Possibly supplemented by...

Going back nearly a decade here but it wasn't unusual at peak hours in the days of 313s on the NLL to see guards letting people into the rear cab with them when either; 1) the passenger doors had been closed and a couple of stragglers came puffing down the platform. They were generally quickly...

Red route enforcement on A1 into town has become a little diluted with the expansion of the network - but I'd say this still stands. Archway to Old Street on the 271 also beats the tube by a narrow margin. The Bakerloo line from Edgware Road to Maida Vale takes quite a circuitous route via...

Slowly amassed over nearly two decades of bashing, school, work and leisure travel. The last time I touched some of these routes would have been on a step entrance bus, but I keep a mental note of each one. Deep breath.. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 20, 21...

Taking the risk of reviving an old thread, I arrived here looking for something else completely but got drawn into the replies. A few London candidates for the worst: London Bridge P6, as previously mentioned. Completely inadequate for the number of people who use it, cramped layout, simply...

Seen in service this afternoon forming the 15:32 from Barking - presume it will form the 16:20 back out of Gospel Oak.

Until a couple of years ago I used to commute between London and Portsmouth against the peak flow - the norm was 8/10 coach trains with about less than 100 people on board , maybe a dozen in the front couple of coaches. It wasn't unusual to find yourself alone in a carriage. And no problems...

The N29 gets 18bph on Fri/Sat nights on the inner section (Trafalgar Square - Wood Green). Every third bus goes on to Enfield. On other nights it's 8bph throughout. I think in terms of passenger numbers it's the 25, but in frequency it's the 38 (28bph AM peak typically, but 35 leave Hackney...

EMU: 319 (seem to sound slightly better on AC, though that might just be me) DMU: 150 LU stock: 67ts

Class listed with the last (and first) operator I remember taking them on. Most of them are pretty obvious at any rate. If this looks like a London-centric list, it's because it is :) DMU 121: Silverlink (Gospel Oak - Barking) 143 & 144: ATW (Valley Lines) 150: Silverlink, First Great Western...

During the day it may be every 4 minutes, but on Friday and Saturday nights it will run every *three* minutes between Trafalgar Square and Wood Green. There is almost certainly a case for the N29 being the most heavily trafficked night bus route in existence. There is a substantial common...

As sustained gradients go, the Portsmouth direct line climbs over 100m from the Wey valley in Goldalming up to Haslemere - much of the 8 miles is done at 1:80 or thereabouts. Easy work for the Desiros, though!

Is the ink on the railcard thermal? If you're careful about it, a lighter flame held 3-4 inches under the railcard (print side facing up) should see the characters burn back in negative. I tend to find myself doing this around 7-8 months into the validity of my YP railcards..
