I use this every time I go to London

This app is invaluable! I travel alone & am American , even tho this summer will be my 4th UK trip I am not comfortable going around London without a map ! . My first trip( 2016 ) it took me about 30 min every am & night to plan my journey etc ! I still got lost and my phone battery would die from constant use. This app allows you to find the tube line you need and w a spare battery you should be fine alone! I’m 60 and stay in Victoria area ( my fav) buy need no help now largely bc of this great app!

When an app feels this good

As a tourist in London finding this app was amazing, but it goes beyond usability and into art. This app is such a great example of thoughtful and precise design. I’ve kept it on my phone after leaving London just to continue to fiddle around with it and continue to discover additional layers of loveliness.

Simple, clean, functional

Fantastic job by the dev team, one of the easiest travel apps I’ve ever used. Displays the map very clearly, shows you everything you want to see. Perfect

RingRail – the 1973 railway plan that paved the way for the London Overground

In 1973, a plan for a new RingRail around London was proposed, and although it was never built as planned, it sort of did get built much later, as the London Overground.

Front cover of the report – authors own copy (c) RingRail

The RingRail was announced in March 1973, to address what was only then starting to be understood – that the motor car could not be the future of commuting in cities. As the report noted at the time, around 10% of the people who commuted to work by car took up 64% of the road space, compared to 1.3% occupied by buses, even though they carried 15% of the daily commuter traffic.

The car was inefficient but seen as the future, and at the time the report was published, the Greater London Council (GLC) was still planning to build the massive ring road network encircling London with motorways.

However at the same time, railways were in decline and there was a lot of underused rail capacity in London. The report said that to encourage people to switch from private vehicles to public transport, then public transport needed to be made more appealing.

And that’s where RingRail came in – a large ring railway around central London with new trains and lots of interchanges with existing railways heading in and out of central London. So far, it sounds very much like the London Overground .

Oh, and they planned to move Clapham Junction station.

Proposed loop railway (c) RingRail

What was put forward was a plan to reuse much of the existing railways that looped around London, just as the Overground has done, but with some key differences.

On the eastern side of London, where the London Overground reused part of the old Thames Tunnel at Rotherhithe to link the two sides of the river, the RingRail would have crossed the river further to the east.

Their preferred option was for a new tunnel that would have linked Stratford and West Ham on the north with Westcombe Park and Blackheath on the south. However, an alternative was included that mirrors how the DLR ended up — with a line via Bow, Canary Whaf, and Greenwich.

Crossing the river in east London (c) RingRail

Quite possibly, the biggest part of the proposal was for southwest London, where they planned to build an entirely new Clapham Junction station a bit further to the north to better align with radial railways. The main benefit would be a purpose-built Clapham Junction station rather than one that’s grown in an adhock manner. It would be largely funded by selling off the land from the old station when that was eventually closed.

(In fact, moving the interchange station to Queenstown Road would be radical, but is still possible, leaving a smaller stopping station at Clapham Junction)

The clever part of the plan to move the station is that it would allow the RingRail to run underneath the new station. That would have solved the problem that still affects the London Overground today, which is that people need to change trains at Clapham Junction to continue their loop around southwest London.

A new Clapham Junction station (c) RingRail

On the north, the plans would have combined the three separate stations at West Hampstead into a mega-station, as has often been proposed, eliminating the need to walk along the crowded pavements to get between services.

The interchange stations that needed to be built around the RailRing were intended to be where housing development could follow afterwards. Long before this was possible, they also proposed a type of travelcard that would allow people to buy a single ticket for both RingRail, National Rail, and London Underground trips.

The proposal was costed at around £200 million at the time, compared to the expected £3 billion that the rival Ring Road network was expected to cost. The difference in cost was mainly land, as the new motorways would slice through already built-up land, requiring many houses to be bought and people displaced, whereas most of the railway land was already cleared.

The report also noted that half of Londoners didn’t drive, so investment in roads was not just more expensive, it benefitted fewer people. They memorably dismissed one planned new road project as “the shortest route between two traffic jams”.

All told, the report was the conclusion of two years of work by three independent analysts, GL Crowthers, PH Vickers and AD Piling.

Of course, RingRail wasn’t built, but neither was it totally ignored.

The following year, the Berren report looked at a range of rail upgrades for London. It included a somewhat simpler version of RingRail as an option, although mainly linking up North London Railway tracks. However that got pushback from British Rail as it wasn’t that interested in small branch-line type services at the time.

There were some modest upgrades to the ring railways around London in the subsequent decades, along with the unlamented Silverlink era, but eventually, something close to RingRail arrived – when the London Overground opened in 2007.

It only took 30 years to get there.

A fascinating insight into what could have been. I dread to think how many more cars we have on London’s roads these days and how much more space they take up, yet few drivers seem to equate traffic jams and parking issues with larger cars, often ferrying around four or more empty seats.

I remember a similar proposal in the late 90s or early 2000s to move Clapham Junction. I can’t remember if was proposed by South West Trains or a prospective franchise bidder – possibly GNER / Sea Containers or Virgin but that could be the memory playing tricks.

Love the RingRail logo too.

Moving Clapham Junction was proposed by Sea Containers as part of their bid for the second South West Trains franchise in the early 2000’s. Not sure how seriously it was ever costed. The wildly different proposals offered by bidders led to a rethink on the franchising process because there was no way to effectively evaluate one against another.

Clapham Junction is a mess of a station on an awkward site, and moving it has often been put forward as a solution – today, the exact site proposed above is probably not feasible with quite a few residential demolitions required, but a little further East, the Stewarts Lane site, combined with Queenstown Road station and the possibility of platforms on the SE mainline, could work quite well.

Another less ambitious option would be expanding the current site Eastwards, using the retail park on the other side of Falcon Road, I believe this was the focus of the most recent proposal which was for a wholesale rebuild with a residential development above.

Either way, a solution which provides for both a much more passenger friendly station, more platforms for London Overground, and grade separation of the WLL junction onto the Southern main lines, is long overdue.

Willesden Junction has never looked more glamorous.

So, they proposed integrated ticketing between British rail and London transport – this eventually materialised in 1985 with the capitalcard. We had had the travelcard since 1983 which was valid on bus and underground and a few short stretches of British rail, but it wasn’t until 1989 that travelcard was extended to British rail and the capitalcard withdrawn

The introduction of joint ticketing as described above

A good idea which should have been realised earlier

London travel news LIVE: Flooding hits train services into Euston as Tube recovers from storm

LIVE – Updated at 15:24

Train services into London remain disrupted on Tuesday morning after flooding that has brought widespread disruption to the national rail network.

Flooding between Rugby and Milton Keynes central was due to disrupt Avanti West Coast and London Northwestern Railway until 1pm, according to National Rail, with numerous services cancelled.

A number of trains into Euston are among those cancelled and delayed this morning amid the chaos.

London Northwestern Railway said its Marston Vale line, which operates services between Bedford and Bletchley, is due to be suspended until September 30 following the bad weather.

A signal failure is causing severe delays on the Elizabeth Line, but the Tube and Overground trains are otherwise largely running normally again after flooding caused numerous lines to be partially suspended on Monday.

On the roads, National Highways said it expected the A421 in Bedfordshire to remain closed on Tuesday in both directions between A6 Bedford and M1 J13 near Marston Moretaine due to severe flooding, and that it “cannot provide a timeline for the road to reopen”.

Follow the latest developments below...

District Line remains part-suspended

As the evening rush-hour nears, there are still no District Line trains running between High Street Kensington and Edgware Road.

There are also minor delays on the District Line between Earl’s Court and Wimbledon, and on the Victoria Line, due to signal failures.

Delays to Thameslink trains between Farringdon and St Pancras

Flooding on the railway between London St Pancras International and #Farringdon means trains are having to run at reduced speed on all lines, National Rail has just announced.

It says Thameslink trains running between these stations may be delayed by up to 20 minutes. Disruption is expected until 10am.

Bakerloo Line reopens with severe delays

The Bakerloo Line is now running again, having been part-suspended earlier this morning due to flooding. TfL is warning of severe delays, however.

Three other Tube lines, and the Overground, remain part-suspended.

Meanwhile there is no Overground service between South Acton and Richmond, and there are severe delays on the Overground between Euston and Watford Junction.

Some areas have seen more than a month's rain in 24 hours - Met Office

The Met Office says more than a month’s worth of rain fell in just 24 hours in some areas yesterday.

Sunday brought heavy rain to parts of England Wales - with more downpours expected throughout today, bringing disruption and flooding.

Environment Agency issues warning to drivers as 'significant' flooding expected

The Environment Agency has warned of “significant surface water flooding” across parts of England today.

Flood duty manager Sarah Cook said: “The impacts could include localised flooding in urban areas...including some property flooding as well as travel disruption. The risk from river flooding remains low.

“Environment Agency teams are out on the ground and ready to support local authorities in responding to surface water flooding.

“We urge people to plan their journeys carefully, follow the advice of local emergency services on the roads and not to drive through flood water – it is often deeper than it looks and just 30cm of flowing water is enough to float your car.”

Disruption to Southeastern services expected until 10am

Disruption to trains between Charing Cross and Hayes is expected to last until 10am, says National Rail.

Heavy rainfall in the area has flooded the railway, causing a signalling fault near Hayes.

Trains were earlier unable to run between Hayes and Eden Park. They can now run to and from Hayes and are no longer diverting to Orpington, but National Rail says services may be delayed by up to 10 minutes or revised until 10am.

Disruption between Waterloo and Wimbledon expected until midday

A fault on a train at Clapham Junction means some South Western Railway trains may be cancelled, delayed by up to 25 minutes or revised this morning, says National Rail.

Trains between London Waterloo and Hampton Court / Strawberry Hill / Shepperton / Chessington South / Dorking / Guildford are affected.

Disruption is expected until midday. You can find more details here .

Amber and yellow weather warnings covering most of England

Amber and yellow weather warnings are in place across most of England today - with the Met Office warning more than a month’s worth of rain could fall in affected areas.

After rain warnings in place all weekend, a fresh yellow alert came into effect at midnight and is set to last all of today. It is covering much of the south of England including London, as well as the Midlands, parts of Wales, and into north-west England and Yorkshire.

Elsewhere, a more severe amber warning came into force at 5am and will last until 9pm. That warning is covering Worcester, Birmingham, Nottingham and Hull.

Some affected areas could see 100 to 120mm of rain today, and forecasters warned there may be more warnings in the week ahead.

Overground expected to be disrupted until midday

The Overground between Stratford and Richmond is expected to be disrupted until midday, says TfL.

Heavy rain flooding the railway at Gunnersbury in west London means all lines through the area are currently closed.

“As a result, trains running between Stratford and Richmond may be cancelled or run between Stratford and South Acton only,” says TfL.

Flooding causing chaos on national rail lines

Today’s heavy rain is causing disruption to a number of national railway services.

Current weather disruptions are as follows:

• Disruption to Great Northern, Gatwick Express, Southern and Thameslink services
• Reduced service between Tunbridge Wells and Hastings
• Disruption between New Beckenham and Hayes
• Reduced service between Stratford and Richmond

We’ll be bringing you updates as we get them. More details are also available on National Rail’s website .

South London closure

What’s happening .

Network Rail are modernising 1980s track and signalling on lines in the Peckham Rye, Tulse Hill and Crystal Palace areas. This work will provide a more reliable service with fewer delays.   

A lot of work has already been completed, with most of the new signalling equipment now installed. 

To allow the new signalling to be finished, fully tested and then switched on, from Saturday 26 October to Friday 1 November 2024 the following sections of the rail  network will be closed: 

Southern 

• No trains between London Bridge and Beckenham Junction via Peckham Rye Tulse Hill and Crystal Palace  
• No trains between London Bridge and Streatham via Tulse Hill 
• No trains between Streatham Hill and Sydenham via Crystal Palace 
• No trains between Streatham Hill and Norwood Junction via Crystal Palace 

Thameslink  

• No trains between Herne Hill and Sutton / Wimbledon  

London Overground  

• No trains between Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction 
• No trains between Sydenham and Crystal Palace from Saturday 26 to Tuesday 29 October  

The dates of the closure have been timed to take place at the same time as many schools in the area have their half-term break, when fewer people generally travel.   

If you use these sections of the network, please plan ahead as you will need to amend your journey during the closure, and journeys will take longer.
