Coming out of the main arrivals exit, they'll see the big covered area in front of the tram stop before any buses, which are largely hidden behind concrete structures, yes. But, as long as a 100 is actually sitting at its departure stop (which hasn't been the case when I've been at the airport...

Some passengers, whose first language didn't seem to be English, hailed a 900 at the Airlink stop on South St David Street just now (~2:30am), causing much confusion among the several people waiting there! To be fair, I didn't realise a handful of 900s do serve the airport overnight but...

It's a shame there aren't any convenient National Rail lines lying around in northeast London that could be hooked into the Bakerloo without mixing it with heavy rail trains.

Perhaps commuters deliberately go via London Bridge in the evening to guarantee a seat (on Southern)?

I reckon custom from Waverley to the airport is where they'll actually have the biggest success — they're stopping right outside the station, as opposed to the trams at St Andrew Square and 100 over by TK Maxx. The problem is that if you had a choice, surely you'd prefer to win over customers at...

I certainly doubt it'll pick up much if any custom among people who work at the airport, most of whom will almost certainly have a Ridacard if they use public transport.

Consultation on route changes for 91, 123, 232, and N91 around Turnpike Lane: https://haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/haringey-heartlands. The Tottenham Lane/Ferme Park Road tiny roundabout at which the 91 currently turns around in Crouch End is proposed to be removed, as it's far too small for buses to...

Not many who are looking for public transport, I'd imagine. The stands at that end are by Departures and the main route to some of the multi-storey car parks. But if you're arriving and looking for public transport, you'll definitely head out the other exit as @LothianBusesPh says.

Of course, at what point does it just become cheaper for the new pair of tracks to be fast, non-stop, and not necessarily following the current alignment precisely...? And oops, we've just designed a high-speed bypass out to Reading! ;)

The new departure screen at the southern of the two southbound Surgeons' Hall bus stops at 9am this morning seemed to be stuck around 2am — it was still showing night buses and the latest bus shown was just before 6am!

Not a local but given I find the general rule (nowhere near exhaustive, I must stress!) of Scottish place name pronunciation is to put emphasis on the second part of the name, I'd assume it's "bal-GRAY"

Presumably you'd use buses (make sure no electric ones!) to get across Central London then? You definitely can't get between Marylebone and Waterloo using unelectrified tube trains!

Most of this off the top of my head so I've almost certainly missed some! Lines that share track The "Sub-Surface Lines" (the Circle, District, Hammersmith & City (H&C), and Metropoltian Lines) share a lot of track, especially around the Circle Line's loop of Central London, but also the...

Do we know what the Airport Express's frequency will be?

Aye our definition is "train calling at all the stations", rather than having to alight/board — and I can confirm that this should absolutely be possible in a single day! I hadn't actually considered the 398 and the bus station — I suppose you're technically right that it should be concluded...

You know perfectly well that they'll do that regardless...

To connect well into the existing tram line from the east, I'd say it has to be London Road, which seems pretty wide to me for most of its length. You'd then have to stay on road through Abbeyhill. The road-rail link wouldn't be too difficult once you accept all the above though — whether you...

Sorry, what?! Are you an Edinburgh local? Because the new on-road sections of your proposal (between Abbeyhill and Waverley) are ridiculous. I speak from experience as someone who used to live in Abbeyhill and would walk down Calton Road fairly often to Waverley station. There are two things...

There's also Queen's Park on the Bakerloo line and Queen's Park (Glasgow)! (Not quite the same thing, of course, as national rail trains serve the London Queens Park but still!) 1699792172 I ran into "Balloch Central" being used on Trainsplit yesterday, when I've only ever seen the station...

Hi all, A friend and I have been planning a "challenge" in the style of the Tube Challenge, where we stop at every station covered by the SPT Glasgow Roundabout ticket in one day. I've plotted out a (theoretically achievable) route that I'm rather confident is the optimum route under the...
