Hi folks, Not sure if I’m being thick or whether the TFL One day travel cards have changed. We are travelling from Chalfont and Latimer to Central London tomorrow, leaving at 08.30ish (Peak). Adults are using contactless, but my 14 year old son doesn’t have a bank card. Previously we would...

Hi folks and a Happy New Year. I’ve just received an email from TFL saying that I will soon need to use a verification code that will be sent to my mobile phone before I can log into my account to top up my Oyster card and look at the transaction history. What happens to those that don’t...

Hello folks, and a Merry Christmas Does anyone know if the terminating platforms (Metropolitan Line) at Aldgate have always been so, or did they ever go beyond and continue eastwards? Carte Metro seems to suggest they’ve always been terminating.

Hi folks I’m planning a trip to London to Edinburgh for Easter 2022 on Advance tickets. I’ve asked LNER what would happen if we were prevented from travelling due to Covid restrictions either in Scotland or England. The reply from their Twitter account was: “Currently we are offering a...

Hi folks, I hope all are safe and well. Have done a quick search and can’t find a definitive answer. I have an iPhone which is registered to my contactless debit card. Can I use my phone to pay for a TFL journey and my son use my contactless card to pay for the same journey (at the same...

Hi folks, I hope you are all safe and well. Does anyone know if you can buy a ticket and have it added to a Chiltern Smartcard at one of their ticket offices yet? Chiltern Twitter only reply Mon - Fri. I want to know if the problems I had here have been resolved yet...

Hi folks, I’m looking at a short family break from London to Edinburgh in the Easter holidays, if travel and accommodation is permitted. Is there much difference in the standard offering (seat comfort, catering offering etc) between the East and West coast routes (and which has the best...

Hi folks, I hope you’re all safe and well. I can’t seem to find any train fares from London To Edinburgh (and return) over the Easter school holidays on either the East or West coast routes. Surely they can’t both be blocked due to engineering works? I was looking for prices leaving London on...

Hi folks Hope all are safe and well? I can’t find anything definitive using the search so here goes: Has the line between Aylesbury and Princes Risboro’ alway been single track? If yes, were there ever any passing loops (say at Monks Risboro’)? Were the bridges, both under and over the...

Hi folks, I hope you’re all safe and well. I’ve just been mooching about on the Carto Meteo map and noticed that the link between Northolt Junction and Old Oak Common Junction is closed. When did this happen? Does this mean that Chiltern main line services can no longer use Paddington when...

Hi folks, hope you’re all safe and well? I watched a film of a London to Brighton speed record attempt (1990’s I think?) and noticed what looked like a signal box in the middle of a complex junction somewhere before Croydon. This led me to wonder how many signal boxes are in isolated (eg not...

Hi folks, Hoping you’re all safe and well. Forgive my ignorance, but I have a few question about 1st gen DMU’s Why was there a need for so many different types/classes across the country? As a non railway person, some of the differences appear to be just cosmetic. Was each class more...

Hi folks, I hope all are well and staying safe in these strange times. Just a quick question: Did Marylebone have any 1st generation diesel locomotives hauling expresses out to Aylesbury and beyond? Or was it all steam until closure north of Aylesbury and the Class 115’s take over all...

Hi Folks. Will a one day travelcard loaded onto a Chiltern smartcard work the barriers at London Underground stations and on London buses, or only at Chiltern stations? Thanks. Adam

Hi folks :lol: When you wake up with a thought and think you know the answer but then your mind wanders . . . . London terminal stations are signed as London Paddington, London Euston, London Waterloo etc. London Waterloo East is not a terminal station but is still signed as London Waterloo...

Hi folks, Mods - please move if in the wrong forum. Did anyone watch Wild Bill on ITV last week? Does anyone know which railway station they filmed the piano scenes at? I didn’t look like Boston, where it is set. Thanks Adam
