I think for the contactless expansion to be fair, it should cover stations of a similar distance in every direction. Places like Cambridge or Milton Keynes seem too far out for TFL fares. Places will get left out wherever the boundary is drawn, but roughly would make sense to stop near the...

Once Crossrail services are running the full length through the central core, will this affect GWR services at Paddington. 6tph of TFL Rail services will no longer terminate at Paddington, freeing up platform space for terminating trains, and this could increase further in the future if...

Could there be a case to introduce occasional or seasonal GWR passenger services along the Dartmouth Steam Railway to Kingswear - similar GWR's services along the steam railway from Taunton, or the limited service on the Okehampton branch? This could perhaps take place as an extension of an...

With the Chiltern route via High Wycombe offering a similar journey time between London and Oxford to GWR's Paddington service, has it ever been considered to extend Chiltern services beyond Oxford, to reverse at Oxford the extending along the Cotswold line to Worcester or Hereford?

The current organisation of rail services into different franchises involves some franchises operating a lot more services than others, while many individual services may be more fitting in a different franchise. Here are my suggestions for re-organising all routes into an alternative set of...
