Severe signalling issues it looks like from late Saturday morning expected to extend until end of Sunday meaning no trains between Leatherhead and Dorking. Doesn’t look to be a quick fix as replacement buses laid on; does anyone know what’s the underlying issue making this more severe than a...

Usual commute is Leatherhead to Paddington changing to the District line at Wimbledon. As I leave before 6.30 the new off peak fare available on contactless looks to be useful for me. According to TfL, the through off peak contactless fare to Paddington is £10 (regardless of route). But...

e.g. https://www.brfares.com/!faredetail?orig=EPS&dest=STE&rte=1000&tkt=SDS Is it just "any permitted"? And wow would it print out on a CCST?

My other half held an Advance ticket for the 1346 GC service from York to Kings Cross today (25th June). Due to (apparently long planned) engineering works there were no GC trains running all day. Notwithstanding the poor showing re: lack of communication about the cancellation of all GC...

The better half is likely to be making a number of Leatherhead (LHD) to Three Bridges (TBD) journeys in the future, and ideally would like to keep options flexible in terms of routes or have the option to go via London. However, as there is no Any Permitted fare for this route this doesn't seem...

Spotted a Chiltern unit in the bay platform at West Ealing today; RTT suggests there are a few ECS movements between there and South Ruislip this week. Is this a precursor to a change in the infrequent service that currently goes to/from Paddington?

Is there any way of getting booking engines to show these routes? E.g. Epsom-U123 Anytime return

Passing through a London terminus this morning, was surprised to hear the auto-announcer describing a 10:00 service as the "Ten-hundred hours service". Why is this method of describing times on the hour used for announcements? Why not the more far more commonly used "10 o'clock" or "10 a.m."...

Due to "large number of trains are requiring urgent repairs" according to NRE. Is this something that has gone drastically wrong with the 360s overnight? Or is it a repeat of the previous 332 issue (where HEx found defects the 332s, so "borrowed" the 360s resulting in no units available to run...

Currently hold a Z1-3 annual season ticket on Oyster, but need to change over to an Ashtead-Z1-6 season ticket. Assuming this Oyster > paper change is possible: - where is best to get this done? - how much will it cost (original ticket starting 3 Jan 2017 was £1,548; changeover date of 18...

New consultation and further details released by TfL/NR today http://crossrail2.co.uk/ https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/crossrail2/october2015/ Tooting Broadway option looks to have been dropped in favour of Balham, as a station at the former seems too difficult to construct. Service...

According to my better half, and a few other acquaintances, there's a guard on SWT suburban services who regularly offers evening commuters a quiz on their way home - mainly a series of "guess the year" questions. Somehow he also manages to put up the questions/answers on the 455s digital...

Apologies if this has been covered before... couldn't find it easily on forum or Google search. Whilst browsing through the station info for various stations on on nationalrail.co.uk, I noticed that while most have a generic photo of what I think is Waterloo concourse to illustrate the page...

TfL have launched a consultation on extending the GOBLIN to Barking Riverside: https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/london-overground/gobe/consult_view

Looking for the cheapest* way to make the following trip this weekend: Friday late afternoon/evening: London-Cambridge Saturday morning: Cambridge-Strood then Strood-London later the same day. Annoyingly there doesn't seem to be an off-peak FCC KGX-CBG fare available. Any thoughts on...

Noticed that the rarely-used track at Wimbledon platform 10 has recently been lifted - is this in preparation for a second Tramlink platform?
