London Rail

Welcome to London Rail – the transport blog that’s for whomever doesn’t practice discrimination or indifference.

Transport covered includes rail, trams, narrow gauge, mountain lines, monorails, cable cars, buses, waterways etc. Not forgetting London underground!

Two posts that have been restored recently are Piccadilly Circus tube’s BSL (this is in relation to some work I am doing on accessibility – or that lack of it – on TfL’s rail routes) plus the Köln – Bonner Eisenbahn which was restored in regards to a discussion on Reddit about mixed use heavy rail/tramway systems. Other pages are restored from time to time in regards to queries or other discussions etc.

London Rail’s articles

A vast number of posts covering various transport topics have been published – somewhere in the region of approximately 420 posts – however a substantial portion of those are not available. Presently there’s just over 140 posts available. A more or less comprehensive list of what has been published can be seen on London Rail’s HTML site map. A good number of posts/articles/features continue to be in preparation, covering a wide range of transport subjects.

As always, no special transport bargains are offered & no disappointments are given! London Rail isn’t any sort of monetary blog and it has no advertisements.

There’s every certainty that exciting rail fares and special offers can be found elsewhere – hence competition isn’t even something London Rail sets out to do!

I would like to see transport fares increase every year by:

000.00%

And to cost the same amount in monetary terms – eg nothing! Free fares for all! The thinking is that money places a certain amount of control and regulation on transport. Clever isn’t it? And besides, the UK ain’t Luxembourg either!
