Hi Blue Scouse and welcome to the forum. I can't help you on the trains front, not being local to you, but I just wanted to say I like your formatting style. Some of your longer posts read a bit like poems!

Good luck with the job.

I quite often do the Hunts Cross to Southport run with my bike - an hour there and an hour back - no problems at all.

Pleasant train ride there, followed by a pleasant bike ride (and fish and chips on the seafront), followed by a pleasant journey home again.

And all for less than a fiver.

Marvellous

Sounds good to me
at first I thought you meant via the cycle route
I would like to go over to Seacome and ride up to New Brighton way

Along similar lines, I also like to cycle the 15 miles to the Pier Head along Otterspool Promenade, jump on the ferry and then cycle up to New Brighton and beyond.

The Wirral has some lovely places to cycle and you are never far away from a train ride home if required.

Just as an aside, I also bought both of my bikes from Cycle Surgery at Eastham - good prices too.

As a train driver I suggest to people to look for the wheelchair sticker on the door of the train, there is more space around that door, wheelchairs are generally few and far between. If one happens to turn up, whilst the guard gets the ramp out you have loads of time to find another door of the train.

Good one thanks Ben

Is there one p in pedant?

I hope it was obvious I wasn't being too serious. I am a pedant, I freely admit it, but there would have to be something quite wrong with me to actually get bothered about errant apostrophes in a discussion forum!
Shop signs &c. are another matter though; that actually does annoy me.

However, it amuses my puerile sense of humour to point these things out wherever I find them (see also disinterested/uninterested), but at least I put a smiley on so you would know not to take me seriously.

Toodle pip.
