First Capital Connect
I am stunned by a trip to London recently which is now resulting in a £57.57 demand from FCC or criminal conviction. Travelling on the London Underground to Kentish Town and then walking up the escalator onto the FCC Kentish Town station, there is a tiny passage way, which last year had two poorly-sited oyster machines…

Advice re:Greeenwich and travelling around
Hi, going for the second time in 2 years to London. Loved the experience so much last time we thought we would take in the Emirates Airline and the Royal Observatory if possible. Even more touristy would be a river boat trip from Westminster to Greenwich. But to be honest Im a bit confused with the distances, we have all…

Cyclescheme: advice needed - end of hire early

Booking seat on return after booking ticket
Is it possible to book a seat for the return part of a ticket after buying it? E.g. walking on and buying an off peak return, without knowing until later when you need to return? And if so, what's the best way to go about it if you can't go to a manned station before returning? At the moment it's a hypothetical question.…

Northern Rail ticket machine, not the best logic, be warned.
Arrived at a NR station today before ticket office opened, but it has a machine. To get a ticket you choose your destination. As it is a common trip the ticket we wanted was on a shortcut button. Pressed for return ticket. You are then presented with a screen to choose the number of tickets. I selected 2 adult and 1 child…

It's long been an annoyance to me that these cost at least £4.99 from bike shops whilst 26" ones, using twice the volume of rubber, are available at Poundland.

High Speed Line From Stratford
I need to commute from Stratford International to St Pancras. However, on some days (maybe 1-2 days per week) I also need to go to other parts of London and on weekends it would be nice to travel on the tube.

South west trains and IRCAS

When i got to the other end the card didn't work. I'm told at that end it shouldn't have worked and evidently didn't. The card troubles…
