I recently made a journey which involved a change of trains at Clapham Junction. The first leg started within the TFL area so I used my 60+ Oyster. The second ended outside the TFL area so I used a ticket. As I forgot to tap out at Clapham Junction there was an incomplete journey on my record...

Plus HMP Wormwood Scrubs where Keith Richards was briefly banged up.

So true. I well remember after finishing work at the dockyard, rushing to the nearest station (Devonport) to catch one of the TWO services which would connect with a Paddington service and get me back home at a reasonable hour. It was an anxious wait at Devonport - no information screens, no...

That's a good point. Perhaps the King's health could conveniently take a turn for the worse and force the trip to be postponed?

So, staff started filming you because they were unhappy you'd photo'd of one of them.

Last year they redirected the aid budget to defence.

Fewer strikes.

The Elizabeth Line leadership was predicting it would be built on time and on budget until, like Wiley Coyote realising that he’d run past the cliff edge, they suddenly realised it couldn’t. The people who knew the true state of affairs didn’t say anything because, well, why would you? If you...

Early on the report says “As Britain responds to climate change, there is always the possibility that railways will move centre stage.” Towards the end it talks about running train services between Heathrow and Stansted to enable Stansted expansion.

Nixon joked that VP Spiro Agnew was his assassination insurance, so unpopular that nobody would want him as President.

The Dublin public transport website says: "There are three main stations in Central Dublin where you can catch long-distance, intercity trains. These are Connolly, Heuston and Pearse (with the majority of Intercity services running from Connolly and Heuston)."

In 1981 the BBC screened an adaptation of Malcolm Bradbury's campus novel The History Man. Anthony Sher played scheming Sociology lecturer Howard Kirk, and Lancaster University stood in for the fictitious Watermouth University. There was a brief scene outside a train station which was filmed at...
