I’m currently stuck just outside Paddington due to a trespasser in the Southall area. There seems to be an increase in these events in recent months - plus new signage being placed at platform and track level by both Network Rail and TfL. Has there been an increase, and if so why? Or do you...

Hi all - I’ve noticed these signs go up across Elizabeth line stations along each platform at frequent intervals, warning people not to stay off the tracks. Is there a specific issue with people walking on the tracks or do we think this is a little bit overkill? Please discuss :lol:

Hello everyone. I have a zones 1-3 Travelcard on an Oyster. I am looking to travel between Ealing Broadway and Shenfield on the Elizabeth line. Do you know what I will be charged if I tap in at Ealing and out at Shenfield? The single fare finder is slightly confusing me! Thank you in advance.

Hello all. Over the past week, I’ve noticed contract security guards at my local stations as well as boarding and patrolling the trains on the Elizabeth line. Is this a new practise? Is it in response to something? For context I’m based at Acton Main Line.

Hello all - purchasing a weekly season ticket (GWR smartcard) from Newbury to London Terminals, priced at £155.60. My final destination will be Liverpool Street. Will this ticket allow me to use the Elizabeth line from Paddington to Liverpool Street or will I need to use contactless for this...

Sat just west of Paddington right now with no overhead power according to the driver!

I was earlier than usual on my commute this morning, and picked up the 8.34 from AML into town. It seems like this service begins at Reading - is this a regularly scheduled service? Reading services usually pass through Acton. Thank you!

Hi all - travelling through Ealing Broadway last night, I noticed that the stairs at the rear of the station (towards central London) are still blocked off and not in use. Do we know why this is, or when they are likely to open? Given the length of the Lizzie line trains, it would be very...

Has anyone else noticed the inaccuracies with the platform door screens of the Elizabeth line in the central section? Sometimes they don’t show that certain services aren’t calling at Acton Main Line and Hanwell (usually trains terminating at Maidenhead), and they say ‘Network Rail’ instead of...

Hi all - now the excitement of Crossrail opening is over (!), I wondered if anyone had any updates on the status of the Western Rail Link that links up the GWML with Heathrow?

Hi all - I have just purchased a Super Offpeak Travelcard at Chelmsford for today (Saturday) and I am shocked at the price - £26.80! Does this seem high to you? No wonder the people of Essex will drive to their nearest tube station vs taking the train.

I'm making a journey tonight from Acton Central to Clapham Junction, and looking at TfL Single Fare finder it seems that it would cost me £3.40 peak to travel Acton Central - Willesden Junction - Clapham Junction. However, if I travel via Gunnersbury, Earl's Court and West Brompton, it's...

Hi all - I’ve been wondering why the Piccadilly line calls at Turnham Green late in the evening. What’s the reason for this? Is it solely to get the people of Chiswick home more easily after a night in town, or does it run deeper than that?

Hi all - today I travelled in the peak into Paddington and arrived into platform 12. The location of the gateline causes such a bottleneck as customers attempt to tap out - it’s located a couple of carriages up the platform, so customers in the first 2 carriages need to double back and then try...

Hi there - quick question for any Clapham locals. I am travelling to Clapham Junction on the Overground (on Oyster) then connecting to National Rail on a separate ticket. Do the Overground platforms at Clapham have Oyster readers to allow me to tap out inside the gateline? Thank you in advance!

Do we think the 'compromises' will sit with GWR passing service to TfL or vice-versa? Are they aiming for the Didcot paths to be moved to TfL control? What other compromises could be made?

Hello there - I was delayed for over an hour today due to my initial TfL Rail service being late to arrive, meaning I missed a connection. Looking through the TfL website, it seems like I need to call or write to claim a delay repay refund as I had a paper ticket. Is that correct? Seems like...

Hi there - wondered if someone could confirm whether you get 26-30 railcard discount on Oyster fares in the evening peak? It seems to confirm it here, but just wanted to double check. thanks!

Hi all - I’ve been thinking about this for a while (sad I know!) and would love to get your thoughts… Did TfL miss a trick with the Elizabeth line livery? To me, it’s very bland, dull and doesn’t follow the same standards as the other modes within TfL. Would something more akin to London...
