    Tube ticket barrier question

    Nothing much would happen. You'd be stopped by a Revenue Control Inspector if ones around - they'd check your ticket on a MOVie reader (mobile oyster viewer), see that you've touched out, apologise for the inconvenience and let you go. Not much of a story..

    Might take slightly longer as the 09 stock was I believe zero'd last week following a failure.

    Tube ticket barrier question

    I think the way most people do it is try it anyway, then if it doesn't work buy a tube single..!

    Tube ticket barrier question

Also as OT says if you get any problems it won't keep it it'll just reject it back out, and there will be a member of staff around to help (especially so...

    Victoria line new stock

    I have the times for it but obviously you can't guarantee anything as it is, after all, just a test. It can be cancelled for any number of reasons.

    Incident at City Thameslink

    Not everyone has a season ticket, and not everyone has a travelcard. FCC cannot say 'go and use EMT / LUL' before arranging ticket acceptance, for those passengers without the all mighty season ticket would not be permitted to use those services without prior arrangement.

    Incident at City Thameslink

    I will point out that London Underground may be less than pleased if they start getting every single FCC passenger using their services because FCC have decided not to stop at stations near LU stations. The idea of ticket acceptance is to help, not to replace a service.

    The Tube 7/7 special

    how 2 become a train driver CD rom

    It's alright.. I mean the information was okay I guess, but it was just a CD full of .pdf's... it's not like a program, just a data CD.

    Correct fare Stansted Airport -> Finsbury Park

    Well not quite sure what ticket you did get issed, but NFM05 shows Stansted Airport to Finsbury Park with a 16-15 railcard being £14.00 on an Anytime Single. They were most likely trying to be helpfull in adding a travelcard as many people from the airport continue to travel around the...

    Can railway suicides be cut?

    I think the idea is that jumping off a block of flats wouldn't be instantaneous as you'd have the time falling.. whereas jumping in front of a train is seen as jump bang done.

    Stratford International

    I suppose the only thing I would suggest is to buy a platform ticket from the staff at the bus stop - I assume that'd let you on the bus aswell.
