    What stations do you think may close within the next 5 to 10 years?

    The line from Barnstaple to Exeter is subsidised by the council tax payers of all Devon. The residents of the little stations should have their service, not every train , but enough. Barnstaple travellers are being selfish trying to knock a few minutes off their commute, at the expense of the...

    Should Thameslink appear on the Tube map? (Now expected to appear in December on Tube map)

    Perhaps it should be an Oystercard map. If a station has an oystercard reader then its on the map. No Oystercard then it's not on the map.

    The future of ticketing: ITSO?

    I understand that you have to tap in to both validate the journey, and open the ticket gates, when using a smart ticket on ITSO. But why do you have to tap out ? I get it that you may have to open the gates at the gateline, but why bother to tap out if the gates are open, or there is no...
