.. Elizabeth took her FORD, drove the LAND, she went through the GATE to the PARK and felt ILl, but the KINGS made her feel GOOD and HEAlTHy again, so she jumped back on her FORD, and drove again through the PARK to the WOODs finally reaching the FIELD..

Who knows what I’m talking about? 🤭

I will be arriving at the port of Southampton, and my hotel is in Marylbone, London. What’s the quickest and/or easiest way to get there.

I seems to have a magnetic mobile phone case which has ruined my bank card. Is it safe to put a tfl oyster card next to it or any magnets ?

I take the tram from Waddon Marsh to Wimbledon and get on the tube to Earl’s Court.

My question is…. When I get off the tram at Wimbledon, do I have to tap out? And then tap in again when I get to the tube part? Or can I just walk straight off the tram, walk to the tube and tap there? Or do I need to tap at all? Help a Surrey gal out 🤣

It is as if they are doing it on purpose just to annoy you.

i was on the 279 at angel corner sitting on the top deck then someone who looks homeless (had a big backpack and dirty clothes) got on and i could hear the driver loudly banging his cab from the top. then the driver comes up to the top to tell him he will call the police and this bus isnt moving till he gets off and to no ones surprise the police dont show up and after a few minutes people who paid start to get off. after playing the “this bus terminates here” announcement for a good 15 minutes the guy who didnt tap in gets off. atp theres me and 3 other people left but the driver refused to move and told us to get off because “he told the controller the bus terminated”💀💀💀 is he even allowed to do that to paying passengers? i was late to college because of this

For the last 2-3 days, the Northern Line has been, to say it lightly, completely screwed.

It seems to be a "points of failure" issue at Camden Town. My dad and I predict its because something has broken down and they can't get the trains to change to the different branches correctly.

But not only that- there were FOUR separate instances on Monday of the line going down. First for a fire alert at Golders Green, then a customer incident at Hampstead, then it was points of failure at Camden Town, then finally a broken down train at Camden Town.

What on earth is going on?? Is Camden Town finally buckling under the immense commuter and tourist travel pressure? I know TfL has been wanting to relocate and rebuild Camden Town for a while now since it's no longer fit for purpose, but this is getting ridiculous.

Why do people do this? I get it’s to get off at a convenient place, but how are people entitled enough to inconvenience everyone else on the train for their own benefit?

What do you tell yourselves? Genuinely curious

Hello. I've just been approved for a disabled persons railcard and would like to add it to my Oyster card for the discount. The thing is, I live in Croydon and I read it has to be added at a tube station only so the staff at east Croydon would be able to do it.

Does anybody know who is need to ask at Chancery Lane? I occasionally am in that area. I don't use the tube tha often but would like th discount for when I do.

I’ve been offered a Revenue Security Officer role with Arriva Rail London, and I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth taking. Right now I work as a Civil Enforcement Officer in a permanent role where the job is pretty straightforward and I’m left to manage myself without much micromanagement. The new role pays around the same but is temporary/casual, with variable hours, early starts, late finishes, and involves ticket checks, security presence, and dealing with the public more directly.

For anyone who’s done this kind of job, how does it compare in terms of stress, workload, and long term prospects? Would you make the switch or stick with stability?

Also Is there real opportunity to progress from this role into something better within the rail industry, or is it more of a dead end?

Thanks

If it expires on the 31st August and I purchase a monthly travel card on the 18th August, can I continue using the travel card till the 18th September or will it stop on the 31st August?

Drove to london several weeks back, got a PCN successfully challenged when providing new car V5s - during this time of waiting for PCN to be cleared i played it safe to purchase a 12.50 pass as i was back in area a week later - got letter this morning saying that any past purchases cannot be refunded ????? i might as well not have bothered and just got another PCN

can they really refuse a refund based on themsevles NOT having correct car details

So I know this is very odd, but my Google wallet / NFC plays up every time I try to tap in on buses.

For the tube, it's all good. But I have trouble all the time I board a bus 😥 it says I'm using "multiple cards".

I tried looking online, but nothing came up. Has anyone experienced something similar?

Really keen to find a solution as I never have my physical card on me, just my phone

Thanks!

Any chance I could use my free pass (Husband is driving reading buses) in TFL??

Has anyone tried before?

Thanks
