I had the pleasure of watching the AJ and Dubois match at Wembley and used chiltern to travel, rather than using the met line which is a much further walk away. The platforms are fairly long and when we were leaving there are not many display boards that are visible unless you have very acute...

When are we going to see the first new piccadilly line train for a test run on the actual line? There is now talks of closing parts of the pic in preparation, but when are they going to test run it?

I had a nightmare journey and wanted to clarify what the policy is for the Elizabeth Line for journeys to Heathrow, as I was not aware that between Hayes and Harlington there is a premium of £6.90 to the airport. I found out as my superloop bus terminated at Hayes town and there was no other...

Does anyone have a guide and maps for the Mumbai metro and suburban rail network? I didn't realise that the metro aspects are run by different companies so you physically exit one service, and have to buy another ticket for the second service. Trying to queue in rush hour for the tickets was a...

Its been a long time since I have taken a train as I have been put off by strikes . Can anyone give me any guidance how safe I...

I am writing this post out of desperation, in my local area I have seen youths travel in, barge past the gateline (both entry and exit) and ply their "trade" The word has now got about and there are more undesirables being attracted to the area. Its only a matter of time before someone gets...

My dad is travelling with 3 other freedom pass holders, from Northolt to Gatwick airport. He bought 3 x open single from clapham junction which was £9.xx. I think he made a mistake as from what I understand he can travel until East croydon. The saving is £3 / person / leg. Will Southern...

Took the piccadilly line and noticed both directions there are blue looped cross stickers on the cab ends. Alperton has been sponsored by Islamic relief on the gateline and was wondering if this is the reason given the appalling situation on both sides in the Middle East?

I was reading that there were plans for a London bridge commuter service coming under LO control. Was wondering what about SWR Reading / Windsor to Waterloo be transferred to TfL / LO?

I will have 8 hours to kill before meeting someone at Heathrow. I've never been on the Elizabeth line, and I wanted to try it to kill some time. I will be arriving at Kings Cross at 8am and have contactless. I don't intend to get off the train at the extremities but may do so near Stratford or...

Say on a flat gradient, a typical HST 9 cars travelling at 125 MPH, how many miles can it travel just coasting before it gets to zero MPH? Assume the passengers are all seated.

I was at finsbury park after many years and pleasantly surprised how much the area has changed . I remember there were ticket barriers on the top of the NR platforms as you climbed the stairs, but these have been removed. I noticed that there are still ticket barriers at the main entrance and...

I am planning a trip to Sheffield from London am flexible on dates, but end of May / some time in June, depending on prices. I seem to remember megatrain offering decent prices, but it keeps giving me coach options. What are the best way to get cheap fares for this trip, or any splits? I don't...

My uncle lives in the US, and will be coming to London in July. Both my mum and him want to visit Scotland and want to do a rail journey, but their health is not the best and they are in their 70s and both have long Covid so walking for very long distances is going to be a struggle. Which lines...

I had a work event at this hotel and as the presentation went on, you could distinctly hear the rumble of the central line trains. How far underground to the basement are they? Will this vibration / noise cause any structural issues for the hotel?

With borrowing costs increasing, and with rising public debt, what will happen to new rail infrastructure projects? The bond market is larger than the equity markets and these are typically traded by institutions, hedge funds, Governments, rather than retail investors, so when the bond market...

A family member needs to travel to Bracknell from NW London. The intended plan was Elizabeth line to Reading using their freedom pass and then pay to use SWR to Bracknell. If there are strikes on can you use GWR services instead? Are freedom passes valid on Green line buses as another option...
