Titfield Thunderbolt

On Classic FM (during a film music programme) the presenter alleged this
film was made on the Tallyllyn Railway. Clearly that is wrong as it was
standard gauge, but where was it filmed? Anyone...

TfL journey planner

The planner can be a bit temperamental and I had a similar problem with
slow/no response some weeks ago. The old standby, switch off and start again
seemed to fix it.

Suitcase and backpack?

Using the Underground sounds sensible. There is a train every 5 minutes up
to 2330, then reducing service up to around midnight. I don't think you will
have a seating problem.

You could then use a...

Yesterday I had occasion to travel to Heathrow and back to Paddington. It
may only be 15 minutes but unfortunately that is far too long to look if you

Can you identify this tube station from this arty picture

My first thought was Barons Court. I hadn't read your "clues" then but this
is in the likely area.

And Heaven forbid that we should spend any money south of the river, after
all we have the South Circular to keep us happy (well occupied anyway)!

Improvements to the North London Line

What about some improvements to the South London Line? Reinstating a station
at Brixton (with platform level interchange to the main line) would be a
start!

London Bridge wheel-squeal

Platform 2, like 1, is on a steady but not very sharp curve. Trains

Lots of trains use Platform 1, but not at the same time! Do you mean P1 at
Bromley North?

Street whilst testing/commissioning the new 5 car...

On opening day, 7th August 1898, apparently between 15 and 20,000 people
paid 2d single or 3d return, so there must have been some sort of barrier
control!
