I think the point was that the Met Line extended beyond the LPTB/LT area of overall responsibility for public transport.

The initial proposal was to cut the branch back to Chesham Moor. It was before I moved to Chesham so I don't know the details but I understand that there was a huge campaign against it. I would guess that once a new station was costed in the savings weren't sufficient to justify a prolonged fight.

There is a short bay platform at Chesham with the track long since lifted. The main, now the only, platform was also the through line to the goods yard.

The OP's scenario requires the Metropolitan Railway to have been included in the 1921 Grrouping with the LPTB taking what is now the Hammersmith and City around a decade later. An alternative development would have been the LNER promptly selling off the Hammersmith and Circle operation to UERL...

With a monopoly operator for the back end processing . 1789032331 Also the current cap is per person. A child pays half* the uncapped at fare up to the same fare cap ( currently £3). Changing thus would push up the cost of the scheme *assuming the operator prices child fares at 50% of the...

I gave up having takeaways delivered when my favourite Indian restaurant switched from in house deliveries to using third party services as the food always arrived cold.

Foregate St totally threw me the first time that I used it. Having arrived at what looked like the down platform I naturally went straight to what i assumed would be the up platform for my return journey.

I remember splitting tickets in British Rail days. It was very difficult to research in those days but was always worth checking a possible split if you had to change trains

M&S own brand pants could never be called Y-fronts as that is a trade mark.

Who gets to decide which cars are immobilised? Police? Government? Every car in Canada switched off at Trump's whim?

I have certainly had hand completed Edmonson card tickets. Also, on one occasion, when travellig to Biggin Hill as a air cadet in 1968 I was issued an LNER third class forces ticket.

In influx of incomers can change a pronunciation. Chesham is invariably pronounced Chesh'm these days rather than the Chess'm used in the 50s.

I remember an incident hitting the national press where a woman went to pick up her husband's season ticket and the ticket clerk gave it a W stamp. Shock horror story about the "secret" stamp. My sister-in-law had a local authority funded season to travel to 6th form college. Her father told...

In my early IT days that was called an IBM floor sort

It looks like a plateway to me. Just using concrete rather than cast iron.

I have used TOTO three times. Twice in Oxford when forgetting my ENCTS card and once on Carousel for an early journey. For Oxford I was in a hotel next to the P&R. Inbound the tap off failed but the round trip still charged the P&R cap. I registered my card on the OBC app and the Carousrel...

It is tracking now. There was a glitch in tracking of around 20 minutes around the time that you posted.

I worked for an IT consultancy in the head office of a major supermarket for a while. I remember the story of a "customer" who had acquired a stock if the yellow sticky labels used for price reductions and printed there own (this was before they were barcoded). If they had stuck to high value...
