I'm interested in some of the Stations served by London Underground but not managed by them. For the stations that otherwise don't have London Underground staff based there (I think barking does?), are the TOC's staff trained on the LU stock that calls there? Ie, could they assist with...

One new peak hour service between Blackfriars and Rochester ran by Southeastern. It terminates at Rochester, one stop short of Gillingham. It then forms an ECS service to Gillingham depot. Why not just have it terminate at Gillingham? My thoughts on these new peak time extras from...

On 17th May 2025, there will be direct services all day between Bromley North and London Cannon Street (calling at London Bridge only) Previous thread: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/bromley-north-through-services-today.109515/

Network Rail have today announced that routes between Charing Cross and London Bridge will be closed for a straight 22 day long closure. This follows the recent ‘Dartford blockade’ and the upcoming prolonged half term closure near Maidstone East Trains will continue into London, it is not yet...

I haven't seen this anywhere else... this tweet https://x.com/ChimeWhistle/status/2020142950387212670 suggests the railway will soon remove the right to refund an unused ticket. (an image of the tweet in question) This seems very interesting if true but unfortunate for the passenger yet...

Posters are now up at Farringdon station stating that due to engineering work on London Underground (the Met/Circle/H&C is closed via Farringdon this weekend), no Thameslink trains will be able to stop at Farringdon. Elizabeth Line is unaffected. Could anyone explain why this is necessary? The...

The Thameslink route via Catford is closed for engineering works, and the usual diversionary route via Herne Hill is also closed due to the same works. Thameslink has less flexibility to move stock to/from their depots in North London/elsewhere on the network. I've noticed that one ECS movement...

Can anyone offer any insights into what has gone wrong? The Bakerloo line has been reporting an “operational incident” in “the” (which?) depot which is preventing them from running north of Queen’s Park.

Since TFL fares will be increasing while NR fares stay locked, will this mean some fares ie Southeastern will be cheaper than TFL or about the same price? TfL sets the fares from Thameslink between E&C/LBG and FPK/KTN - will these fares rise as well? (Even though other fares on the Thameslink...

Based on the response on this website, this campaign of emailing customers regarding “irregularities” seems to be very lucrative. I wonder if other toc’s will be taking it up

Metro have clarified that "It is not known whether she is accused of going up a down escalator or down an up moving escalator" also reported by Newsshopper and NY Post https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15341991/female-passenger-trial-walking-wrong-way-train-station-escalator.html...

I’ve noticed this at Whitechapel specifically moreso than the other underground stations I use. Staff will stand at the bottom of the Elizabeth Line escalators mostly just talking to each other (LU not XR staff) and also by the corridor leading to the Overground and Elizabeth Line. Is there...

Thoughts? Looks like this officer was a bit too enthusiastic and undeniably has gone too far. Is there any situation where it's necessary to strangle a 15 year old girl, place her in a headlock, push her back through a barrier and place your hand around her throat and shove her against a ticket...

Does anyone else feel like this advice regarding the Elizabeth Line is a bit misleading? It says trains will not stop at stations between Whitechapel and Bond Street. Does this not imply the trains are stopping at whitechapel and bond street, and then going non-stop? In actuality, the trains...
