Third-class rail travel
• IT’S good news that the new “London Overground” promises that North London line services through Canonbury, Highbury and Islington, and Caledonian Road and Barnsbury will finally accept Oyster cards.
This should end the nonsense where passengers who had prepaid to travel and passed through the ticket barrier still got hammered with penalty fares.
Now we need the rail companies and Transport for London to work together to ensure the promises on staffing, safety and new trains are delivered as promptly as the new logos.
The history books tell us that third-class travel was abolished years ago, but North London line users have suffered third-class services for far too long.
