Thanks. I am tempted to try the whole journey without tapping out and in midroute to see whether they are doing anything underhand. I have a big case so the least movement the better.

I have an annual zones 3 to 6 travelcard with gold card on my oyster. Would this mean I can avoid the additional fare from Heathrow on the Elizabeth line? I will be traveling to Upminster on the Elizabeth with a change at Romford onto the overground. On the way out we took the bus from Hayes but...

W When trying to support a young family in Nagoya on a basic salary the Kodoma or seishun-18 were the only way I could afford to visit Tokyo. It has been great to go back this year with a one week green car pass hitting 198 MPH at times in "proper" Shinkazens.

And how much are those "ultra cheap" tickets from say Nagoya to Tokyo? Around £60 each way..

In Japan the remaining family have to pay the railway firm for costs incurred by the delays. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2013/10/18/business/blood-on-the-tracks-who-pays-for-deadly-railway-accidents/ confirms. BTW the cost being in the case reported approx £42K. I have also heard some...

It is confusing since places like West Ham have a touch out / in for NR behind the gate line but nothing for DLR behind the gate line whereas at Limehouse I am always confused whether one needs to touch out of DLR before touching in to access the barrier to NR.

Just bought a 1 year zone 3 to 6 travel card which I had put on an oyster. It was a borderline decision to move away from contactless and reading that contactless actually charges less in some instances, along with this CH mess is making me regret the decision.

Extending the line to a new parkway station at J29 of the M25 and adding additional stations for the 6th form college and hornchurch would make sense. The existing parking at upminster could become short term and housing. This would provide more purpose for it to stay as a metro/tfl service.

Completely agree it is ambiguous. To some the front will be the point nearest to them.

@Hadders and @MikeWh Thank you both. Looks like I introduced unnecessary complications. Will go with the contactless option then. The TOC websites list a £128 return fare!

Thanks. Maybe I will just have to grin and bear the theoretical loss of not having our group standing at a wind swept East Croydon at 06.45 waiting for the next train for the sake of a tenner then.

I am planning a rtn Upminster to Gatwick, leaving Upminster on a weekday at 05.30 am and returning on a later day in the same week - hopefully before 4pm but it may be later. Travellers are: one TFL 16+ Zip card holder, one TFL 11-15 Zip card holder and one adult. We have a family and friends...

From London Paddington to Penzance on 12 August after 4pm. 2 adults with travel together card.

If only. Having the stress of emailing schools and not getting responses in time and then not sure where we are for the duration of the holiday would do my nut in. Am just about to book a seat in the sleeper for the return journey that night. Will give us time to sort everything out and then get...

Thanks. I hadn't noticed boardmasters previously. None of the 12 August tickets are on sale though as they all require reservations which aren't available yet (although I hope they haven't sold out).

Hi, I am starting to get really worried. I have booked advanced twin sleepers for the 11th August 2021 so I can return to London from a summer holiday in Lands End with my 16 yr old daughter to collect her GCSE's in person and confirm sixth form places (she is still undecided between a couple...

Thank you both. Much appreciated.

Hello, I am planning to travel from Upminster to Brighton on 10th June 2019 arriving around 8.30 am. Rtn would be leaving Brighton around 5pm on Wednesday 12th June 2019. I am happy to change trains/ avoid zone 1 / leave before 6.30 am. I can't seem to find any advance singles on sale so the...

Thank you for the replies. Ended up buying advanced tickets there and back and saving a bit more money.
