The SMRbtH is ideal training for day one of LonJog........

We plan to ride to a different train line in the morning. We've met the station staff at Brighton before.

they're alright really. Bear in mind that the train line to the east isn't working. Hove might be your best bet, although it's a bit of a faff if the lift isn't working.

Not this time. If I ride to work tomorrow (not decided) I'll be over 200 miles this week alone (excluding Ramsgate Ride) come Saturday morning that's training enough. Anyway booked the 12:49 train and I intend to drink beer before heading home.

Really? I have only had one poor experience there and that was the day after the BHF L2B.

Yup, whenever I have used the train back from Brighton it's never been a problem with staff.

 

[StuAff]

Been no problem going west for me either. I'll probably go for the SMRbtH option. Saturday night I'm intending to do User10571's ride out to Kent for the Richborough power station demolition, so riding home should make sure I get a decent afternoon's sleep

Edit: Engineering work, buses between Littlehampton and Barnham. So riding at least part way for sure this Saturday!

I've had a few issues with officious gate staff splitting up Clarion riders.

We were planning to head for Uckfield, which is pretty straightforward, and a station we know well (as well as being unstaffed).

Not here - we're in Wells for my little brother's 40th birthday (which makes me feel very old indeed).

I think there's one tandem

Unstaffed Uckfield? That's not a station - more of a clarion call.
