    Oyster auto top-ups

    To think TfL should provide accurate information in emails? 16-17 Oystercard, will only be used on buses. I will not be charged a maximum fare for not making a journey if I just tap on a bus, so why do they tell me I will? And why do they suggest using contactless when the whole reason I've got...

    Bus Map North Wales

    Has anyone got any idea where I can download a bus map for North Wales? Arriva's website is pretty useless, as is Traveline and Transport for Wales. It seems increasingly difficult as the years go on to get information about bus services

    Time lapse video near Long Eaton?

    Does anyone recall a time-lapse video by the BBC, probably about 30-40 years ago of a speeded up driver's eye view, of the line up Long Eaton/Newark Castle way? I've Googled and searched on YouTube, but cannot find it

    Alterations to Oyster auto Top-Up

    Received an email from TfL this moring stating that as from 17th November, those using auto top-up will be automatically topped up if their balance goes below £20 (up from the present £10).

    PRIV Discount on Child Zip Oystercards

    I am posting this in order that it may help other 'Safeguarded' British Rail Staff who have child dependants with a Zip (11-15) Oystercard. Children 10 and under get free travel on London Underground, so it doesn't apply to them (but you can still get the PRIV discount added to an under 11 Zip...

An under 10 Zip should be free, but was charged £1.20. Must be something wrong with the way people are charged using the East...

    Toilets on 377s

    Why do the toilets on 377s lock themselves out of use when they go out of service, thereby trapping people inside? And if they are designed to do this, why is there not an emergency release on the inside so those trapped can free themselves?
