Currently TfL are interested in two franchises, Southeastern's metro network to Dartford, Sevenoaks and Hayes and Greater Anglia. If they take over those and can prove them to be successful in the future, the DfT may allow the Mayor to run the other franchises within Greater London. The Transport secretary appeared to give his approval to Boris taking over SE and GA when he was interviewed on the BBC and ITV local news last week.


If TfL gain Southeastern's metro services, expect it to be rebranded as London Overground and the Victoria to Dartford line to be operational all day and Sundays.

Until January 2nd that is. As mentioned on this forum before, London Overground are scrapping point to point seasons between Clapham Junction and Queens Road Peckham (with the exception of Denmark Hill to Peckham Rye), although you will be able to still buy seasons to Victoria, London Bridge, Charing Cross etc or if you require a season, you'll have to ask to have it start from South Bermondsey to one of the stations on the line.

According to the http://www.oyster-rail.org.uk/mixing-travelcard-and-payg/ site mentioned by BB, afaics the ?2 extra (for Zones 3-4) would be normal for a single peak journey, as it was overall a "mixed NR/TfL journey" (see Mike's "Things to watch out for" section). Is it possible that you are charged just ?1.50 only when you break your journey long enough for it to be counted as two separate journeys (ie overall taking more than 110 minutes (see Mike's Maximum Journey Times page))? In that case ?1.50 would be the peak charge for TfL zones 3-4.

You can if you are clever about it. TfL have willfully seen that point to point season tickets with validity via the East London Line have been removed from the system. For example, New Cross Gate to Canonbury routed Not Underground had a point to point season ticket available until September 2012. London Overground saw that the season ticket was removed from sale, effective from September 2012. Not Underground tickets are generally available between stations in South London and North London, intended for use via City Thameslink and West Hampstead.


TfL don't like point to point season tickets, so you'll have to be creative. You can use National Rail Enquires to find a journey between two stations that is a.) valid via the ELL and b.) has a point to point season available. Or else, pay double for a season ticket, or use Oyster PAYG.

This will not be the case after tomorrow. Point to point season tickets between stations on the Queens Road Peckham to Clapham Junction/Kensington Olympia line of route will be removed from sale come the 2nd January 2013. The only exception being if you buy a season ticket between any two of Queens Road Peckham, Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill.


I was in the process of campaigning for the reversal of this decision, but after finding that virtually nobody seemed to care, I decided it wasn't worth it. If anybody really wishes to get around it, they can buy a ticket from South Bermondsey (instead of their home station) to their destination.


Also, point to point season tickets are valid on the London Overground, so long as one is travelling on a permitted route. Any suggestions otherwise are incorrect.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
