During weekday nights, #Transport for London’s #Underground, Elizabeth line, #Overground, #DLR, and #London #Trams are not in operation as the trains are stabled at their depots. 🚇😴⦵

This is the Tube status during the early hours, which confirms that all lines are currently closed.

High-frequency rail in South #London operated under the short-lived #Overground Network brand. Launched in 2003 by the Strategic #Rail Authority and #Transport for London, this #map from 2005 shows the initiative to boost National Rail usage before it was abandoned. 🚉

Yesterday, back with my usual group – the @Metwalkers (I Walktober'd about 40 miles this weekend! 😳) and we saw just how much #countryside is within easy reach of #Overground lines!

Along with portentous #alpacas and a #heron out standing in its field (in the #rain, but he don't care).

#Transport for #London has opened a new #accessible toilet at White Hart Lane #Overground station, with Seven Sisters to follow, as part of a £15 million, five-year investment to improve toilet access across the network. New facilities are also planned for Amersham, Clapton and Morden, while up to 12 existing toilets, including at Canary Wharf and Wembley Central, will be refurbished. An audit has identified where improvements are most needed at bus stations, supporting Transport for London's Equity in Motion strategy to make transport more inclusive. There are currently 146 TfL-managed toilets, with further facilities in non-TfL stations. Staff can advise customers on nearby options and provide access to RADAR key toilets. A Toilet Tube Map and the #TfL Go app are available to help passengers locate accessible facilities across the network.

#Transport for #London has revamped the status page for their Tube, #Overground, Elizabeth Line, DLR, and Tram services on their website.
https://tfl.gov.uk/tube-dlr-overground/status/

#Transport for #London (#TfL) has announced a ban on non-folded e-bikes across its transport network, effective 31 March 2025, following safety concerns. While most #ebikes are safe, there have been incidents where non-folding e-bikes caught fire on the network. The ban will apply to the #Tube, #Overground, Elizabeth Line, and #DLR, but foldable e-bikes will still be allowed. TfL’s review, in collaboration with the London Fire Brigade, found that conversion kits for standard cycles pose a higher fire risk. Non-folding e-bikes are already banned on buses and trams. Exceptions include the Woolwich Ferry, river services, and certain coach services. TfL is working with the government to improve e-bike safety. Customers not complying with the ban may face fines up to £1000. TfL is the first #UK operator to enforce such a ban.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
On-board Passenger Information Displays for Class 345, Class 710 and B23 trains

There is no official design standard for the displays, as they comply with The Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Non-Interoperable Rail System) Regulations 2010, which can be found online. For the Class 710, key documents related to technical specifications and accessibility are available online or for purchase, including #EU regulations on #accessibility and rolling stock, and various European standards on PRM use and train voice systems. The dimensions of the displays on the Class 710 are 700mm x 132mm. Regarding the Class 345, its design standard is intellectual property owned by Alstom, which has objected to its release, citing commercial concerns and potential legal action. However, an alternative design guide for the Class 345, a #TfL-owned document, is available, detailing changes to reflect the #Overground line renaming.

When I see the colours of the new versions (same, but separate) of the #London #overground lines, which are too similar to other #tube lines’ #colours I wonder if more than person on the team there is also hecking annoyed that they didn’t find more distinct colours out of the many available. What the heck happened, were they legally restricted to a limited palette or did they just not notice?

Return of the 1980s - British Movement sticker with razor blade behind discovered at #Overground #train #station just outside #London in #Cheshunt #Hertfordshire (it was removed by station staff without any injuries)

Not sure they have a valid ticket ... I think they got off at Highbury & Islington.

First time I've seen a Class 710 #Aventra on the north London line. Normally these overground sets are heading to Barking or Watford.

710 378 seen here on the platform at Gunnersbury enroute to Stratford.

Wayfinding in England, for North Americans:

The subway is not a train, it's a pedestrian underpass.

The platform is where you board national rail, the underground, the overground, or the line.

A line is a route from end to end.

The tube is the underground, but the underground isn't always the tube.

It may take several elevators (lifts) to get between the street to the lowest level.

Is everything clear, now?

Learning that the Gospel Oak to Barking #Overground Line was already abbreviated to the #GoblinLine does make me feel that we really should have paved that desire path. It will live on in my heart.

@quixoticgeek @doot I was 31 when I moved to London, and first encountered wombles when watching the London marathon and there were a bunch in costume running and the entire crowd started singing the theme song. This is obv the best way to learn about them as an adult. 🙂 #Underground #Overground #Wombling #Free

Another good day being a #tourist in #london.
We went to the #Horniman #museum - a first for both of us.
Travelling by #overground which wouldn't have been possible when we lived in London.

Great museum - a bit old fashioned but none the worse for that. Lovely park.

Back to our accommodation in #Whitehall by #bus which was an interesting & entertaining experience.

Astonished at how busy central London is on a late Saturday afternoon.

I know what you're thinking.

Harry Beck's #London #Underground #Map (#TubeMap) is a design classic, making route finding a doddle.

But what does the Underground actually look like?

* How big is the Hainault Loop really?

* Just how far out Is Amersham

* Is the #Overground really that extensive?

* WHOA! is #Heathrow really that big?
