The status alert is for something tomorrow miles away
It is my understanding that TFL may offer the following four investigation outcomes
No Further Action
Written Warning
Administrative resolution
Criminal Prosecution

Does anyone have any details of what this might be? (Offpeak return £16.40)

I will start with Northolt Park whose bus map still shows the 140 as going to Heathrow which was cut back to Hayes and Harlington in 2019
It of course fails to tell anyone wanting to go to Heathrow about the SL9 and the fact that there is only one stop that it serves out of the 2 near the...

A very polite Instructor operator asked me to leave saying it was illegal for passengers to travel around the loop
He then got on a train and thus was about as effective at stopping me doing the loop...

Anyone who has changed might check if they were charged
In response to their complaint LNER said
