Updated Journey Times & OSIs

26/08/202108/09/2013 by Mike

I’ve recently received responses to two FOI requests which have provided useful information. The method of calculation of maximum journey times is now known where part of the journey is outside the zones numbered 1-9. The OSI list has also been updated with the only change being an increase to 30 minutes when walking from … Read more

New Page – An Oyster Rail Journey

26/08/202118/07/2013 by Mike

A new page has been added to the site today describing in detail what happens as you make a rail journey using Oyster. It’s very much a first draft based on my extensive experiences of using the system, but if anyone in the know spots an error or misunderstanding then I’ll happily update it.

I’ve been informed by a site visitor that changes are on the way for people who travel between the Morden end of the Northern line and stations east of Clapham High Street on the Overground extension. He enlisted the help of his London Assembly member and received the following response:

Changes to OSIs from October

26/08/202106/11/2012 by Mike

I’ve just received the latest update to OSIs which appears to have been introduced in October. There are a few housekeeping changes including deletion of the now redundant OSIs between Blackfriars NR and Temple/Mansion House. They’ve also deleted the OSI between the parts of Wembley Central as you no longer have to leave the station to get to the Southern platforms.

On the plus side they have introduced a new OSI between Ickenham and West Ruislip

Gate problems at London Bridge

26/08/202129/10/2012 by Mike

I’ve just got back from a night out in town and had a major problem at London Bridge on the way home. All the gates were locked open (nothing unusual in that, I know) but rather than have some Oyster readers working as entry and others as exit, EVERY gate was set to exit only. … Read more

Temporary OSIs for the Olympics

26/08/202130/07/2012 by Mike

I have heard via a site visitor that there are two new OSIs in place for the period of the Olympics and Paralympics. The first one is between Aldgate and Aldgate East and works as long as you touch back in within 20 minutes, either way round. The second one is between London Bridge NR … Read more

New OSI list from Jan 2012

26/08/202121/03/2012 by Mike

I have received a new list of OSIs which is dated January 2012. Not much has changed, but there are new OSIs between Aldgate and Tower Gateway, the two Edgware Road stations and different gatelines at Farringdon and Oxford Circus. The temporary ones between Blackfriars NR and alternate District line stations are still active at … Read more

A visitor to this site has highlighted some missing fares between stations on the North London Line and the northern branches of the Northern line. I have sent the following email

Tottenham Court Road Reopen

26/08/202129/11/2011 by Mike

Now that Tottenham Court Road has re-opened on the Northern line, and interchange is once more possible with the Central line, the temporary OSIs between Goodge Street, Leicester Square and Tottenham Court Road have been removed.

New OSIs from May 22nd

26/08/202111/05/2011 by Mike

I’ve received the latest list from TfL via a Freedom of Information request. It confirms my suspiscion that the helpdesk didn’t know what they were saying when they told me that the Finsbury Park OSI was 90 minutes. As I thought, it is actually 10 minutes, which is quite reasonable for the short distance involved. There are also two new interchanges
