From the spreadsheet here (on TfL website), yes (at least AIUI), which replicates the In-Station-Interchange - there is no need to use it. For the OP's change - Westbound LU to Southbound TL - there is cross platform interchange, with no need to use the OSI. Agree, the pink readers are there to...

Checking myself, the Railmiles Mileage Engine is giving an excessive distance from London Bridge to Croydon, as it is using a devious indirect route...

Checking, no it doesn't. And following the 'Buy on line' link to Heffers/Blackwell's leads to an 'out of stock' message.

The origin of the term 'commuter' (and hence it's derivatives) came from concept of 'commuting' (reducing) fares paid by regular travellers, by them buying a season ticket. So my understanding would be that commuting covers regular journeys from normal home to normal place of work. Other 'home'...

The 'main line' from Trieste C.le to Villa Opicina (via Aurisina) is the old Sudbahn mainline from Vienna via Ljubljana (Laibach in German), built in the 1840s-50s - the Carso/Karst section into Trieste was I believe originally regarded as much a wonder as the better known section over the...

My understanding is that 'crew attitude' was a large part of the reason for retention of double heading as standard...

My understanding was that the up Night Ferry (to London) was booked and expected to run non-stop, and that if for any reason it had to stop, the police were to be summoned pdq, to ensure that none of the sleeping car passengers (who hadn't gone through immigration - that would be done on arrival...

The FdC website (link in previous post) has tt downloadable in Excel spreadsheet form - but apparently only the current one :( The FdC runs downhill to a relatively modern joint station (with FS/Trenitalia) - they run a shuttle/metro sevice between station and city centre. FS lines (north out...

The CPS - in relation to Tramlink - took the view (rightly or wrongly) that the ROGS definitions (quoted above) overode what was in the Tramlink act - which described Tramlink as a railway (although partly worked as a tramway). And doubtless would have the same view over the irrelevence of the...

The suprising thing is perhaps the lack of validators on the LO platfoms 1 & 2 When I had to touch out, and carry on with a different ticket, I just went to the most convenient barrier line and did it there - without bothering to go through.

A few thoughts/comments. There's a lot to see down there: to see it all (without rushing) would be a couple of months - depending of course on what you want to see... The map does not distinguish between FS/Trenitalia (national/state) lines and 'Ferrovie in Concessione' (independent) lines. I...

I understand there were (are) some quadruple lines (I think Euston-Roade is a significant one) where there are three '6 foot's, rather than two and a '10 foot' between them - result of parsimony when the quadrupling was done.

... or perhaps he just assumed that a gateline should have been negotiated.

From the OP ... which does not specify any particular railway system - Network/National Rail or other. The perhaps interesting variation is where a settlement has two railway lines (with regular passenger service) - but only one has a station. But it should be trivial to come up with the...

The equivalent to a 'pink reader' to indicate travel (and thus charge fare) via Zone 1, for LU-NR through journeys is the two gatelines (LU & NR). Which is fine - until you have (as here) journeys via Zone 1 which do not involve negotiating gatelines. When you have three choices: Install a...

If I understand correctly (which I probably don't), the Serb-Croat border/divide goes back to the 4th century division of the Roman Empire into Eastern and Western halves. Much of what became Yugoslavia (Bosnia, Serbia, Macedonia) was part of the Ottoman Empire into the 19th century - a...

The legal definition of a railway, according to the CPS (in connection with the applicability of clauses in the Offences Against the Person Act to Tramlink) is in the The Railways and Other Guided Transport Systems (Safety) Regulations 2006 Section 2(1) : ... so I would say the T&W Metro is a...

My understanding is that, at some point in the 1950s, the Soviets indicated that an 'Austrian' future - i.e. as a neutral, non-aligned and largely disarmed state, without foreign troops or bases - would be an acceptable basis for a peace treaty with Germany. But this was not accepted by the...

Was it? Or was it 'Exeter (bus from Yeovil)'? 'Yeovil (for bus to Exeter)'? 'Yeovil (with bus for stations to Exeter. Passengers for Exeter change [to alternative service, i.e. GW] at Salisbury)'? Which? And which should (as the best/most realistic) it have been? Maybe the last? And how were...

Noted. Due to lack of timestamps, that thread is difficult to interpret - but I gain the impression that services were expected to be 'ok' in the afternoon/evening (although in the end they weren't). But the question I have is to what extent was this tweeted info communicated to passengers (not...
