    Govia thameslink intention to prosecute letter - HELP

    If I was arguing that I had used my sibling's card by mistake, I would want to back it up by submitting my own card history which showed that I had paid the correct fare every other day or every other time I made the journey. GTR will see this kind of excuse all the time and I don't think...

    TFL fare evasion: won my case!

    With TFL, I only get a "pending" transaction and my bank app's notification of a 10p withdrawal if I haven't used my contactless for more than a week or two. Within a shorter interval it seems to trust that the full amount will be taken correctly at the end of the day. So I wouldn't be able to...

    TFL Fare Evasion Freedom Pass Missuse

    There was one recent case where the solicitor was unsuccessful but the OP wrote again (personally) and was successful. This thread: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/my-daughter-is-on-the-brink-of-depression-due-to-fare-evasion-case-please-help.229657/page-3 But that could be for any number...

    TfL Maps

    This is super work. I love it. I really like the way you've included so much detail including parks and waterways. I think the official maps put too much weight on the lines, which cramps their style - and your approach looks fresh and more successful at dealing with the complexity. I sat down...

    Not charged a penalty!!!

    The card readers on DLR give a very loud bleep when anyone uses them, which has been a helpful reminder for me a couple of times when I might have forgotten.

    Break of journey on smartcard

    I don't know if it's the same kind of issue, but recently I bought an Off-Peak Day Return from Oxford to Charlbury on the GWR app. (Validity code CDR). Looking at the ticket information on the app (pressing the I button below the QR code) it says A break of journey at intermediate stations is...

    Pret A Manger

    My impression is that Pret staff are overwhelmed by people claiming their pre-paid coffees (from their £20 monthly subscription) and - together with the staffing issues mentioned and the pressure they're under to work at speed and keep smiling - just don't have the time or energy to put into all...

    World's most complex trackwork?

    Great question. Do you have a suggestion to start us off? I guess that the most complex layouts would have been rationalised in this country, and in places like Japan there are a huge number of lines, but not greatly interconnected... From memory/guesswork, somewhere like Hamburg?

    Comedic "things you would ban": minor things that irritate you

    Easier to understand for non-native English speakers. A number of features of English are slowly changing as the language becomes more international and some errors are becoming more acceptable.

    Thameslink - fraud mentioned - settlement possible?

    Be aware that railway staff read this forum so be very careful about saying anything that incriminates you further - certainly the extent of what you've been doing. That's for you to discuss with Thameslink. We don't need to know the detail.

    Comedic "things you would ban": minor things that irritate you

    Food on trains (like a packet of crisps) being routinely described on the Tannoy or menu as "delicious" or "mouthwatering" or "handmade", or telling me to "spoil myself". Just thinking about it has put me in a really bad mood now. :frown:

    Does the Piccadilly Line really need to stop at Barons Court?

    On this map you see the top destinations for travellers from Barons Court (sorry, not sure what year it refers to). Piccadilly Circus, Kings Cross, Leicester Square and Green Park (all Piccadilly Line) are all in the top 10.

    Does the Piccadilly Line really need to stop at Barons Court?

    I think the OP was suggesting that they could run through South Ealing and Northfields without stopping.

    Does the Piccadilly Line really need to stop at Barons Court?

    Lots of other traffic using Barons Court, students at the local college etc. South Ken is packed in normal times, and Gloucester Road doesn't have an easy interchange. If people want to travel between Central London and the airport quickly, the Picc Line isn't the best choice now and...
