    not sure if it’s the right forum but can anyone tell me the most westerly station on the GWR mainline that falls into a London travel card? I can see zone 6, but not sure if any further zones apply? Thanks

Or is there a better way to get as many as possible in a short space...

    Not sure if this is the right place to post - but does anyone know the "order" of coaches for these trains? For example - Cardiff > Paddington always ( nearly ) has Coach A at the London end and Coach K at the Swansea end.

    Train Spotting in London

    Years ago you could be platform tickets or on some stations just walk up platforms without barriers. Can you still do the same at the main termini such as KX, StP, Vic, Waterloo, Liv St etc...? I'm up in London next week and was planning on doing a whistle stop tour of a few stations.
