I was at my club in St James's. I am often there.

No. Something about him suggested he had a different background to me - the ability to spend ages waiting in a police station, not wearing smart clothes etc... On the other hand, he looked like an ex-public school (I am ex-public school) rugger bugger on hard times. He might have said that...

Thinking it back, I am sure it is a scam. I did not give any details over the phone. I am sure of that. No date of birth, address, password, secure information. I also don't think he knew my name, although I answer my phone with my name anyway so that means nothing. But I did ask "How did you...

Thank you for the advice Ggloster. What, specifically, would you be checking please?

Fortunately I was not at home. I was just around the corner in a public building.

About an hour ago the phone rang. It was “Constable Simpson” at “Charing Cross Police Station”. He said that there was a man in the station with a driving license with my name on it and my phone number. He said that if I went over they would show me a picture and demonstrate that it wasn’t me...

House of Lords?

I am very right wing, but I have the utmost respect for the Mick Lynch's and Bob Crow's of the world. They have mastered their arguments and practiced how to counter their opponents' points. Those of us who disagree with what they have to say can and should do better than "good riddance" and...

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but Nexus has a new map showing the Northumberland Line and new fare zone D. See it here.

If my understanding is correct then that one would be very easily defended in court. The document showing the barcode, whether paper or electronic, is not actually the ticket. It is a link to the e-ticket which is held on the TOC's system. Scanning the barcode shows the inspector the ticket...

Moderator Note - split from: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/phone-died-on-arriving-train-station-travel-incident-report.276001/#post-7000996 Hang on, surely this is outrageous? The railway is actively encouraging people to buy tickets that are intended to be shown on electronic devices...

Spotted at West Jesmond a few months ago :D

Unfortunately this is exactly the problem alholmes. I cannot add it to my online account until I answer the security question. Which I do not have.

I am trying to transfer the ~£75 balance from my old, lost, card to the new one. I have followed the following steps: 1. Sign into my old Oyster card account on tfl.gov.uk - success 2. Click "transfer products to another card" - success 3. Type in the new Oyster card number - success 4. The...

Yes I have done this. Thanks everyone.

My faithful Oyster card which I have been using since 2012 sadly fell out of my pocket today. Fortunately the only other thing with it was my hotel room card, which was easily replaced. I am in China right now, with web search tricky and tfl.gov.uk blocked. So please forgive me for asking what...

As a regular traveller with LNER I don’t understand why we are having these constant rail strikes. Can somebody please explain to me two things: 1. Why can strikes go on and off like this from just one vote? Surely if you go on strike you should start the strike and then it ends when it ends...

I would not support the division of 1ST into 1ST and STD+ on the ECML. I would however support the re-introduction of the Restaurant, which creates a 1ST+ product in effect. Here in the UK stage lengths are not long enough to warrant a business class product with flat bed. They are however long...

Vote Count Binface for sane & sensible policies, including: * Thames Water bosses required to swim in the Thames * London Bridge renamed Phoebe Waller * and more...

I have noticed that on my route - King's Cross <> Newcastle, up to last year the cheapest tickets were reliably released for both legs when bookings opened. Every now and again, including at Christmas last year, LNER's inventory analyst would make a mistake and release the cheapest ticket on...
