Hi all, I am buying 2 tickets for a rail journey to London on Saturday from Biggleswade train station. I am buying a travelcard as I will be using the underground and DLR. I get offered Super Off Peak for £42.40 and the same ticket type again for £58.40. Both standard class. I just can't see...

A pleasant article on the last dining car service in England. It made me hungry :) http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/uk/englands-last-dining-car-great-western-railway-s-pullman-offers-escapism-and-luxury-a6840901.html

A trial running at Holborn Station to see if it speeds up commuters to have them standing on both sides rather than just the right hand side to allow other commuters to speed up/down. I suppose it should do as it will in effect be taking nearly double the workload in terms of passenger...

Wow! That is one busy network! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-34807310 Not surprised that Oxford Circus and St Pancras are the busiest stations, but St Pancras has a few more lines going through it than Oxford Circus. Having to queue to get into the station at Oxford Street is...

I am getting a monthly season from my employer as I will be covering other people's jobs in the lead up to Xmas in central London. I will be loading it onto a keycard, this new gadget that GNRail have launched. My question is, can I upgrade it to 1st class after my employer has paid for...

Delays of up to 15 minutes on the GN line today between Royston and Letchworth due to the moist weather and leaves. http://prntscr.com/8wrpb3 Is this a common event?

Not the best quality but pics on my phone of Cockfosters track and yard from a building nearby;

Quite a few trains cancelled from KGX and Moorgate this afternoon/evening due to lack of train crew. The response I have seen from GN is that they are trying to recruit new staff and that soon they will have too many drivers. http://prntscr.com/8ke3hi It is a bit poor on a Friday when people...

If so I just wondered if you knew what was happening with the refurbishment of carriages? At the moment it seems 3 or 4 carriages per train are refurbished with roomier seating that is comfortable. (by the way, I thought they were new carriages they did such a good job). Have they done a group...

Came across this Daily Telegraph article from about 3 years ago when using Google.... http://http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/uk/london/9789966/London-Underground-150-fascinating-Tube-facts.html I love the fact that St James station is Grade I listed, and also that...

Which train goes the fastest on the Tube? I have no idea, but to guess I would say the Victoria line and Northern Line go the fastest. But, I bet you are going to tell me they all go the same speed :)

This afternoon the 16:40 to Peterborough was actually the 16:32 to Cambridge. Apparently the passengers were on the train on platform 5 when it was announced that the 16:32 had changed to to the 16:40. As soon as the 16:40 was announced as platform 5 I tried to get on but it was full...

A recently announced railway bridge closure is causing some anger locally. http://www.biggleswadetoday.co.uk/news/local-news/biggleswade-bridge-closure-plans-spark-fury-1-6854292 As I understand it, the bridge is being replaced, it is on the main road into and through Biggleswade Town centre...

Hi there, new member to the forum. I am a commuter between Biggleswade and Kings Cross each day. I was just wondering if anyone knows how old the carriages are on the Great Northern line? The one I get at 17:13 has wood effect and the most uncomfortable seats imaginable.
