Tales from today's commute....

Same here with South Eastern Trains. I've already checked and there's no changes to the times of the trains I use thankfully.

Those carriages are very different to what we get - i.e. cattle class. We are stop 4 and the commuter trains in the morning are standing only -

It does depend on what train I get in the mornings. I can get a faster, direct train 10 minutes before or 10 minutes after. But much prefer the stopping service as it's much less busy. It's nice to sit in relative comfort next to the bike rather then battle with the great unwashed.

It was a tad milder this morning here in the South East, 11° and cloudy. The cloud making it a very dark 7am.
Thankfully the ride in to work was incident free.

Yesterday's commute was from hotel back to Mechelen station.

Strangely busy this morning but everyone was behaving themselves and my favourite rolling stock was back on today. Although its go no dedicated bike rack, it doesn't stop at every station so there's little standing to St'Evanage, and those that do can't stand in front of the bike or block me when I need to get off.

Do you ever need to tether the bike to the grabrail to secure it while train is in motion?
