Surely it was a public place so it is allowed? You weren't harassing them. Perhaps I'm wrong on this.

If at the bequest of the time government, why not just say that.

Good point. Once I hadn't thought of. Maybe that is from a different kind of budget or being an on going cost is possible whereas the sudden development cost isn't That is usually the case for first time sign on or maybe if you haven't signed up on a while but otherwise they usually remember.

Probably because it would cost more money. TfL are a public service and not a private bank.

Many photos won't support it. O2 does if you have the right phone but done support SMS over WiFi. If I was in a design or implementation meeting at TfL, regarding this, it is one of the things I would have raised pretty quickly.

What does one do if they need to log on to their account at a station and there is no mobile phone reception? Not impossible in London and on O2 many parts of Greater London ate busy. I can make calls over WiFi but I can't send or receive text messages. Nothing I can do about that on O2. I...

What is so wrong with offering the option via an authenticator app, in addition to via SMS? To me, it makes perfect sense. I can't see any downside beyond it will cost more money. Perhaps costing money is the reason.

Thanks for such a detailed response. Very interesting. In response to both of these and this may not be the correct analogy, so do pull it a apart, take a bus service such as the 281 in London. This doesn't run at precisely the same intervals. I'm can't remember what is on the bus stop...

Could one not do A B B A B B A B B? Where A is the less used service.

Surely you should see multiple trains to your destination too as they would list the trains following your one and not just the next train you are catching.

Well, I didn't have much of an issue at Earls Court. High Street Kensington was the main issue Thanks for all your interesting replies. They clearly need more platform indicators at High Street Kensington. I went to see a film at Cheswick Cinema and then headed to The Brompton Oratory after...

Why do platforms 3 and 4 and Kensington High Street have no indicator boards? How does one know which train is going to leave first? I was travelling from Stamford Brook and accidentally doesn't alight at Earls Court and ended up at High Street Kensington instead of South Kensington as...

That reminds me of a Victorian guide book I owme where they warm readers that tickets to mutiple stations maybe the same price but if you go beyond the station on your ticket, even if the same price, you will get in trouble. I forget precisely what would happen and nor can I remember which guide...

If the map only included stations, from which fares for single journeys were priced by TfL or priced by another TOC but matched to TfL prices, how would that change the map?

I love the map. When I was studying Cartography at university, back when such a subject could be studied, we were taught that it is better to use the vernacular rather than to transliterate the names. If course this map has been produced for fun, so who cares about such things. Whilst I can't...

Wonder why Waterloo and London Bridge were excluded from the trial? Too many people using them? I do hope the works are ones that can be easily upgraded to 5G or accommodate 5G with minimal works later, as that will be more important in the future than 4G

This was the December 2017 report to the finance committee: https://tfl.gov.uk/cdn/static/cms/documents/fc-20171205-part-1-item05-telecommuncations-commercialisation-project-update.pdf The indicative timetable was as follows: Not checked to see if they reported back to the committee at a...

I can never remember which stations have fast interchanges and which require a hike.

Alas I wouldn't be in the cases I'm referring to. Not unless you want to get a stopping train from Guildford to Vauxhall or from Woking to Surbtion, followed by Surbtion to Vauxhall. I doubt those are faster.

Google recommend Jubilee and Bakerloo options but don't always get it right. On the perticular day I travelled, I was fortunate to be travelling at a time when I could alight at Clapham Junction and go to London Victoira and then get the Victoira line from there.
