Park and train in/near West London

use the Oxford Tube/Espress as a nifty 'express' night bus to get from
central London back to Hillingdon.

Perhaps...

Piccadilly Turnham Green

Wouldn't it make more sense to get rid of Barons Court on the Picc and
replace it with Turnham Green?

More trains on the Northern line, but where?

I think they did say that 24 trains per hour is possible without the
split, 30 trains per hour wouldn't be, right?


I do hope to see the split coming. The Northern Line has clearly been

Euston may not be on the Piccadilly line but King's Cross - St.

SWT checking tickets

Wouldn't it be easy enough to let the gates know which train has come
in and then check the validity? i.e. if it's a fast from Surbiton, no

That wouldn't work...

East London Line phase 2b to Clapham Jn is GO!

If Clapham Junction to Canary Wharf really is going to be faster than
the via Waterloo route, I think it'll do the line more bad than good

and faster than the Circle and District lines. The change...

It is switched on and it still seems to be causing quite a few
