Why are tube stations closed or offering restricted services while TfL / TubeLines make them look cleaner? Surely what we all want is for the trains to run safely and efficiently? Yet the rails on the Victoria Line are so bumpy you feel like the trains are about to leap off. And all they can do is spend a fortune re...

Does anyone know what the thing hanging over the ticket barriers in the middle arch at Paddington is? It looks like a lost rucksack, but it’s 15m up… JooPoo

I was on the Victoria Line from Seven Sisters to Walthamstow, at the Tottenham stop this slightly shifty looking bloke gets on looks around then jumps off again and (the train was held up at the station) returns with a crumpled copy of the Metro. He then stood in one of the doorways leaning against the glass, hel...

How on earth do they get a derailed tube train back on the track? Also, how do they get it out of the tunnel if it’s totally knackered? I’ve wondered this ever since the Central Line crash earlier in the year. Nick

I was on an overground train to Ally Pally around 18:00 yesterday, when two teenage hoodies barged their way off the train at Finsbury Park station and proceded to push over and repeatedly kick a harmless looking young man (office worker type, thick glasses) in the stomach and back. It was unbelievably vicious bu...

QUESTIONS – Is any of the following offensive? Will southernrailways respond to it or write me off as a mental?: So I wrote to you on the 8th of Jan to complain about the whole short train/higher fares/late running business. You did respond fairly promptly but the first paragraph of the email, rather than t...

You’d think I would have learnt my lesson, having lived in twickenham since time began I was born. I made the fatal error of travelling from where I live through the Twickenham station to get to work, as the buses were still on divert at the time I was leaving. AKA. No buses that go near where you want unle...

Every morning I pick up a Metro at my station, have enough time on the train to read about 5 pages, and then rather than leaving it lying around to litter the train, make a point of carefully folding it back to how it should look, and dropping it neatly back into the Metro trays at Cannon Street station. This I hop...

I find it hard to believe that I have lived in London for 6 years and have never experienced this, but this evening when I was standing on the southbound Northern line platform at Stockwell, the (delayed) train pulled in and beeped twice. It was a quite piercing horn. Anyone heard this before?

I understand the basics of why, when you are travelling on the Tube or the District/Circle/Met line, the lights will suddenly go on and then off. It’s presumably because the circuit breaks and they don’t have electricity going to them. But I don’t understand exactly why this happens. Are there...

It took me two hours to get home last night. My journey should take all of about twenty minutes. I’m sure I read / heard somewhere that if your train is more than n minutes late you’re enitltled to a refund but I don’t think this applies if trains are just cancelled. Personally I reckon being c...

My son is going to be three at the end of the month. His birthday falls on a Sunday and I’m going to take him into London for the day. Whatever we do, the highlights will probably be the train journeys there and back, but are there any suggestions for fun things to do in between? His interests include eat...

So, some people I know are soon to depart to Venice on the Orient Express. I would like to buy them a little something for the trip since it’s a special occassion. I’m pretty sure they’ve both read Murder on the Orient Express and seen The Talented Mr Ripley, and there my inspiration runs dry. It&#...

Once a week I travel into work (west london) from Hertfordshire. I always seem to get irritated by someone on my journey… Here is my top 5: 1. People who think that everyone in the train carriage including people sitting 5 seats away) want to listen to their ipod. 2. The person in a really long ticke...

This is a pretty bizarre question. Has anyone ever used the showers in train station toilets? For example, Victoria. I’ve never been in to have a look as I’ve usually been in a hurry, as it were. What are they like? Wouldn’t it be really easy to get attacked in there, or is there some kind of assis...

I live in Kentish town. And last night, around 11.30pm there was the most almighty sounds of very very big, noisy bomber type things in the air, flying over my house, again, and again, and again, and again (ok you get the picture but i was trying to sleep, it was VERY annoying.). Anyway – did anyone else hear ...
