As the Evening Standard rightly says, closing ticket...

Old trackbed next to central line

Thanks for solving the mystery. I'd assumed it was an old industrial
or agricultural private siding which was still extant at the time the
GWR doubled the line in the 30s to accomodate the future...

North London Line AC/DC question

Has anyone got a list of the class 313 / 508 unit numbers as operated

Actually I'm glad my info is incorrect. Let's hope the last working is

Aspiring London Mayor Brian Paddick says his first act on election
will be to order a redrawing of the zonal bounderies. Pity therefore

Old BR logo on London Underground

What's also odd is that the 'Overground' flashes on LUL car diagrams
inside trains do not have the BR/NR double arrow but those affixed to
station diagrams do. And those on station diagrams are being...

New DLR station opened today

Less welcome is the fact that passengers on the Stratford branch now
have no trains beyond Canary Wharf after 10am in the morning. Thanks!
And still the only branch with no service to the city.

LT Museum Reopens

The new museum is *very* disappointing. Acres of unused floorspace,
indeed every refit since 1980 has seen more large exhibits removed.
Just four buses - a B-type, RM, DMS and rather untypical TF. No...
