Indoor cycle trainers ?
I've got myself a new bike, a carrero from Halfords, so for the first time in many years went out. Very nervously decided i'd be better in the park. Now, especially with the weather starting to change i thought i may be better inside. I don't want to get an exercise bike, i thought about one of those indoor cycle stands.…

Beware: Disabled Railcard & South Western Rail
Hello A relative has a disabled railcard that entitles both her and an adult companion to one third off most rail fares. When I booked tickets earlier this week with South Western Rail, the discount was only given to the railcard user, not the carer. When I used the National Rail website, the discount was given to both…

Penalty fare station query
Not really about fares as such but train travel procedures... I have a season ticket to travel from an unmanned station with no ticket machine (home), to a station with gateline barriers (work). Home station is NOT a penalty fare station. Currently, my home station is the 'alternative' station whilst another station is…

DLR - Penalty Fare Notice
I had a valid 1 month travel card in my Oyster and only realised that I had misplaced it at somewhere after touching in at my starting point when I was asked to produce a ticket by the ticket inspector. I told I had misplaced my Oyster, however since I didn't have a valid ticket to show I was issued a Penalty Fare notice.…

Train car park - difficult to get season ticket
Recently started commuting again. Easiest way to get a parking ticket is via RingGo but they only offer daily prices at £8.50. Managed to get to the ticket office this w/end and a monthly is £115.00. That's 13-14 days plus you get weekends. Seems a bit of a scam as it's difficult to find the season ticket price, it's not…

Greenwich foot tunnel - bikes
I ventured in to the Greenwich foot tunnel for the first time this week, and there are more "no cycling" signs than current Leicester City fans in the whole of England (ok, slight exaggeration but you get the point). But still a good 70% of people jump on their bikes as soon as they're out of the lift. And it's not as if…

Earlier in the week I went on a cycle in a country park where the paths are a few metres wide. On a long stretch of path a group of four people were walking towards me, two 50 something adults and two late…
