I’m having a fight online (where else!?) with someone who is insisting that you can’t travel London zones 2-5 if you have 2 tickets, a zone 2-3 and a zone 4-5, essentially saying that you must also have a 3-4 card. I remember a forum member (Possibly Yorkie?) having this issue and sorting it out...

Hi all, long time no speak! I’m travelling up to Edinburgh from Kings Cross around 10am on the 18th August, returning at the same time on the 23rd. Right now there don’t seem to be any advances available. Have I missed them or are they not released yet? If anyone knows when they should be...

Just had an announcement from the guard on this service saying 'Off Peak tickets are not valid on this service.' It's the 1751 from Euston to Northampton (I think). I've mentioned it on twitter, but can anyone think off the top of their head a valid off peak ticket for this service? Thanks! :)

Looks rather impressive I think. http://www.wearedorothy.com/shop/category/lost-destination?utm_medium=email&utm_source=Mr+Hyde&utm_campaign=4424350_MH+150714&dm_i=25MP,2MTUM,GCGD7R,9MFOZ,1

I rather like this site. Every time this chap's FCC train is late, he photoshops a picture of Tim O'Toole's face. timsfaces.tumblr.com Some of them are rather funny!

I get the train into Euston every day, and this morning pulled into Platform 1, which has a grand total of 1 Oyster Reader. The queue for the reader was understandably huge, given that a conservative 75% of travellers use Oyster on the train. Now I never bother to touch out, since it doesn't...

Ok, so I'm moving soon, and won't need my 1-8 Gold Card any more. I'm actually going to be within Boris Bike distance of work, so won't really need a season ticket at all. My season ticket runs out on the 14/10/14, and I'll probably do the changeover on 16/6/14. My season cost £2,848...

Over the last week or so, there've been security bods at the bottom of the stairs to Platform 6 checking tickets during the morning rush. Rather the usual "wave an oyster card at an LM employee" they have a hand held reader to check what you have on your ticket! If they see you tap in then they...

Coming into Platform 17 this morning, there were a load of people milling around Platform 16, and a Pendolino with what looks like a new sticker job for a new X-Men movie (is one coming out?). Didn't have chance to get a picture, but it looked pretty good - sort of black/grey/red.

I was travelling home on Sunday from Clapham Junction to Watford High Street. As the Overground wasn't working, with a bus replacement service in force, I got the Southern Service to Watford Junction. I there had to touch out, which cost me £1.50 in order to get the replacement bus to High...

I hope the RPIs have been properly briefed!

321 sat at Bushey this morning on the slow line into London pantographs down, with us all shifted to the fast platform. Guard informs us that it's due to wires down at Kenton. According to the screens everything out of Euston stopping at Bushey (LO excluded) is cancelled. Hopefully not too...

I was waiting for the train to arrive at 8:19 at Bushey, and was rather surprised when a train that usually blows through the station stopped and let people on. It was on the board as an 8:13. It was rammed, so I waited for the next one. I was hoping that it would be a regular service newly...

They look pretty good... http://www.shortlist.com/style/footwear/nikes-london-underground-air-max-collection

On Thursday, I need to go after work from London up to St. Albans for drinks and then back home to Watford High Street. I have a 1-8 season ticket and a Gold Card The cheapest I can see to do it seems to be for £6.25, which is a BZ6 to St Albans for £3.15 then a £3.10 ticket from St Alban's...

Hey all, I have a 1-8 Annual Oyster card and I need to go to Braintree Saturday, coming back on Sunday. By the looks of it the cheapest way to do it is to buy a ticket from Shenfield to Braintree, at a cost of £5.35 Can you get a boundary zone 8 ticket, or do it any cheaper? Thanks in...

I had to travel from Euston to Hemel and back to Watford Junction yesterday. I left Euston at about 13:30 and left Hemel on the 15:05. I have an annual season ticket that covers Zones 1-8 + Watford (actually 123456789 on my record card) so I purchased a Watford to Hemel day return from the...

Interesting one last night. Got the 17:30 Euston to Watford Train. I was in the rear 4 cars. Unusually it stopped on the fast platform at H&W then the same at Bushey. The train stopped for about a minute without opening the doors (on our section at least), after that there was an announcement...

Too intrusive? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/07/03/sky_ads_pushed_direct_into_your_brain/ Good old Rupe, always one step ahead in the race to be the most disliked person you can think of... :lol:
