Is there anything that says height restriction signs on railway bridges must be illuminated? Those on my local bridge were turned off when they refurbished the bridge early in the year, and have never been turned back on. I contacted the rail company, who said it was the council's...

I travel from Zone 6 South Western Railway, via Richmond (where I touch pink reader and change to the Overground ) and exit at Willesden Junction (zone 2/3) I get charged for a zone 3-6 journey. Last week I accidentally additionally touched the pink reader at Willesden Junction just before...

Hi. When the Overground nears Richmond in the evening, it often stops just outside for a minute or two, presumably at a red signal. It then gets going, often just after another Overground has passed the other way. Does anyone know why this is? There are several platforms at Richmond, so it...

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I am confused. Am I right in saying that I can no longer buy an annual season on my Oyster card from South West Trains ticket offices? That would mean I would have to get it from a tube office, but then I wouldn't get my Gold record card? Is...

Just realised that I've been charged out of zone extras for journeys within my zones! I have an annual zone 3-6 season on my Oystercard, and travel Strawberry Hill - Willesden Junction via Richmond. I usually touch the pink validator at Richmond, but since having a season (for 3 years), its...

Hello Can anyone tell me anything about these plaques. Are they original? Copies? Souvenirs? Are they worth anything? Cheers

Sadly my cousin passed away last week. He was a keen rail enthusiast, and the task has come to me of valuing and selling his collection. Can anyone suggest how to go about this? It includes a garden gauge loco, a 2.5" loco with tender, ticket issuing machines, models, books and dvds. Is...

If I look up an annual season from Fulwell to Willesden Junction, I see you can get that for £1072 or to London Zones 3-6 for £1208. I assume the former allows point to point only, the other unlimited travel within the zones? Does the former allow bus travel ? Just wondering what you...

I was waiting on the platform to get on South West Trains service recently. A LOT of people got off for some reason, more than normal, and this delayed us getting on. In fact, the guard shut the doors while people were still trying to board the train. These were not people who had arrived...

I notice that the train from Richmond to Shepperton in the evening has first class sections, but on-line or at a ticket machine, there seems to be no way to buy a first class ticket. Does that mean I can sit there with my standard ticket ?

Recently, I was hoping to travel from Richmond to Willesden Junction on my zones 3-6 annual season Oyster. The train never left, as the service became suspended. I had to get the tube to Hammersmith, and then a bus, and this cost me £1.70 extra, as I went outside my zones. I successfully...

I usually travel from Teddington to Willesden Junction via Richmond. On pay as you go, this charged me for going via zone 1 unless I touched the pink route validator at Richmond. I now have a 3-6 season and it covers my journey even if I don't touch the pink reader. However, the other...

On Sunday, I travelled from a rail station in zone 6 to underground zone 1. I have a zone 3-6 travelcard, so I expected to be charged for the zones 2-1 part on pay as you go, which I was. However, despite changing to underground in zone 4, I was charged at the national rail extension rate...

My Oyster card became intermittent and needed replacing. 5 station visits and a 4 mile journey out of my way, and 2 days later its finally done! My normal journey is via South West Trains and Overground. None of their ticket offices can do the replacement, you have to go to a tube station...

I travel regularly from Fulwell to Willesden Junction via Richmond. This covers zones 3-6, and I have a 3-6 travelcard on my Oystercard. I was stopped by an inspector at Willesden Junction this morning who said I has travelled out of my zones as I had gone via Clapham Junction. But I...
