IIRC you need to register to have season ticket on your Oyster, therefore they will have your details. I'm not sure if there was an exception for this for a 7 day, though.

What sort of things would you want to know?

Yeah, as Mojo said, the 378's have an A/C system. The trains have openable windows fitted but are only to be opened by staff, with a T or J key, for example if the A/C fails.

Hi Ken, Yes you can both get oyster cards, (from any LU ticket office, for example). They charge a £3 deposit each, but you get that back when you are finished with the cards and hand them back in. Please note, though, that if you plan to use pay-as-you-go as opposed to a weekly or longer...

At the very least, I have gone through it with you before ;) However, pleased to say having done a supervisor placement there, CSA's at Kings Cross are generally quite good with regards to NR tickets, (unless you get some of the 'Special Requirements Team' who aren't used to working there).

Following on from Yorkie's post, 'Customer Service Assistant's go through a 52 page handbook entitled 'Tickets & Oyster', which very largely focuses on Oyster. The sections with regards paper tickets mainly teach to read by the price and origin stations, and has the following to say about 'zonal...

From the signalling systems LU use, (and the 3/4 aspect signals on NR parts of LU), that does go against was I am taught to be correct practice. Strangley we were discussing today, the reprecusions of a 'signal systems failure' - (on LU, where a train has fully passed a signal and the signal is...

My trainer today planned to attend an internal job interview, (for his managers' position), and planned to change into his own suit.

Monday - Saturday, the trains from Tottenham Hale that stop at local stations Ponders End, Brimsdown, Enfield Lock and Waltham Cross go to Hertford East. However, on Sundays, trains to Hertford East go via Seven Sisters, and the Cambridge trains stop at the local stations. So, every Sunday...

(on the Waterloo & City Line, at Bank) "Excuse me driver, where does this train go?" ".......Waterloo." "Are you sure?" -.-

Rather strange considering the amount of money they've just spent there...!

Well actually London Underground itself is nationalised... it's a publicly run company AFAIK.. On National Rail, the track is maintained by the public company, (network rail), and the services are run by private companies, (the franchises). On the underground, the track is maintained by...

A post that was, rather topically, referring to intercourse on a sleeper train IIRC ;)

Touching out at Shepherds Bush LU and then in at Shepherds Bush LO should automatically sort out your fare. There are certain locations around the network where foot connections are built into the system already. By touching in at Shepherds Bush LO you are proving you didn't use the central line...

Having been observing this thread for a while, oen thing I will say is that I am surprised by the amount of people on here with Aspergers Syndrome! When it was first mentioned to me I was under the impression that it wasn't very common, seem to have mis-judged that one..!

I'm not sure about Ibruprofen, but I doubt it, as I am allowed to take it whilst being classed as safety critical. I do know that Co-Codimol shows up as cocaine on a drugs test, so I can't take that! (In actual fact, theres a long list of stuff I can't take because im safety-crit, including...

Danielo, Even if you weren't intending to get the driver into trouble, showing the date, time, and which service it was, its pretty easy for the company to identify the driver. Rail companies do monitor forums. After all, I believe the WSMR MD is on this forum..? But yes, (not so much a...

What kind of insurance do you mean? I believe either virgin trains or thetrainline offers insurance in the event of injury of loss of money etc through travelling when on a specific booked through them. But if you mean specifically health insurance or something..?

(other than by bus), it is indeed the Victoria to Oxford Circus then the Bakerloo to Waterloo :)

Well, being rather topical: http://thomas-cairns.co.uk/ This person is currently 'blogging' a review of on-train UK food whilst on an FC ALR.
