Delhi Metro was one with these last time I visited, scanning them like a normal smart card at entrance but putting in a token slot at exit, but it sounds like they've been discontinued since 2023 in favour of reusable smart cards or QR codes. Mumbai suburban trains used to have an unusual...

No sign of this at the moment for me either, at least on the Android app or the confirmation emails. The option was definitely there last time I booked via Uber in May.

Access from the TGV arrival platforms to the rest of the station is a bit of a bottleneck too as it goes through the Customs corridor. You could easily lose a few minutes getting off the platform when there's a train load all coming through the narrow corridor (though it doesn't look like...

I'm trying to work out the cheapest flexible (but off-peak) option for a trip from London to South Wales, going first to Cardiff, then to Swansea before returning. Would this super off-peak London-Swansea return (for £161.50) allow us to break the outwards journey in Cardiff on Monday 26th and...

Thanks everyone for your thoughts, that does look a lot of votes for Citymapper! I've not had another disrupted journey to try it out in anger, but I can see that this morning for instance the Piccadilly line is suspended Acton Town to Uxbridge- Citymapper clearly shows the tube as disrupted and...

Thursday evening's major Circle/District/H&C disruptions got me thinking (eventually, after I'd stopped swearing...) Trying to find alternative routes home in a hurry was a hassle because Google Maps doesn't seem to display live train running when the tube lines are suspended-it kept giving a...

With the current construction works, the Russell footpath entrance is indeed open full time at the moment as the main access route to Platform 1 without crossing the temporary bridge from Platform 2, and it's also the main signed exit route from Platform 1 There are actually 2 Oyster machines...

Curious if anyone has experience with this on Thameslink too? It looks to be the same web system running it as on Southeastern. @island do report back when you've tried it. They ask for a journey cost on the delay repay form, and from experience using paper day travelcards (there's no category...

While North Greenwich was indeed designed to allow an extension to Thamesmead, the route was never safeguarded and I suspect London Underground quickly lost interest in it. There is now a building in the way of those knockout panels so they can no longer be used as originally intended even...

Hi All A year or two back, I started commuting between Streatham and Wimbledon - after advice here on this thread http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=115233 I got a Vauxhall-Streatham not via London season ticket, as it let me go on the direct Thameslink service to Streatham as well as...

I would agree with that but the rush hour traffic from Tooting through Collier's Wood and Wimbledon can be atrocious. Off peak it's not too bad and maybe beats waiting 30 minutes between Thameslink services, but I can't imagine commuting on it regularly. On a rail note, Streatham to Clapham...

Bringing this conversation back to life, I've been looking at actually buying my first ticket this weekend. According to the journey planner at least, Streatham Hill no longer seems a valid route for Sydenham Hill, whether due to timetable or rooting guide changes. It's now quoted as...

Thanks for the suggestion. Stangely I still only see the more expensive price for Streatham Hill on the national rail or brfares prices, not that it matters. Would a Sydenham Hill ticket open the automatic barriers at Streatham and Streatham Hill, or would I need to show to staff each...

I'll shortly be starting a commute between Streatham and Wimbledon from somewhere half way between Streatham Hill and Streatham (Greater London) stations. I'm hoping someone can give me advice on the best season ticket option to use. The Thameslink trains through Streatham are quicker but...
