Well yes, there was a major failure of the Oyster▸ (Smartcard system used by passengers on Transport for London services) Card system last Sat morning - made all the news. Loads of Oysters didn't work afterwards, if you had tried to use them during the failure.

^6.50 up to 24hrs, no problems with getting through the gates (I couldn't be bothered to dig out my Gate Pass), and deposit/collection of bag was quite painless.

Thanks, John!

Yes, I was in London last Monday, and they were apparently still resolving issues there, even then - extra staff at Paddington to deal with queries, big posters giving information, etc.

Details from the BBC» (British Broadcasting Corporation - home page) website - see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7503197.stm - but that's probably enough from me on this one!

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
