Thanks! I suspected as much but wanted to be 100%.

The plan is to leave East Croydon (ECR) on a Friday morning after the morning peak (10:30?), direct to Eastbourne (EBN). Then on Sunday, going from Eastbourne to Brighton, breaking the journey for several hours, and returning Brighton to East Croydon. Is this possible on an ECR-EBN off peak...

Nelson. Took it's name from the nearby pub when the local area was known as Marsden.

Cheapest tier(s) 2nd class tickets sold out, not so in 1st.

TfL need to get their act together re contactless cards. In December, I tried to add an additional card to my account, but couldn't do so because the expiry year is 2032, and the web form only allowed me to select a value up to 2031. I logged it with TfL, and got a useless response back telling...

Who is the very cross sounding woman who does the announcements on London trams? Maybe it's because Nicholas Owen's "This... tram... is... for... Elmers...

Stevenage looks to be a good split point.

Plus - for the next 7 days at least - 8% cashback with Virgin Money.

Do station staff have special keys which over-ride the locking mechanism? What would have happened if a member of the public had attempted access with their own key?

Can someone please explain the reasoning behind having three different coloured/sized “n” logos on Northern’s fleet, as per this picture? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Trains#/media/File%3A195001_of_Northern_Trains_at_Lime_Street.jpg
