Ingenious. If I ride backwards, the wind will be behind me. Perfect.

As far as I can see, southern/network rail's 'works' on the Vic to ?Littlehampton line stop at 05.15 saturday morning. Even if they overrun a couple of hours, trains should run when we need them, certainly to Angmering, and you can change anywhere from Hove and onwards westwards. Easy? Hope so.
edit: for clarity - e.g. 12.16 Vic to Bog arrives 14.30; 1 change; £17; (going via Preston Park and Worthing, not via Horsham and Arundel)
I think the most apt word for that is 'Bugger!'…Southern services are slow enough at the least-worst of times.All trains are going the long way round via Hove, as there aren't any trains running between Billingshurst and Horsham and it's changing at Littlehampton. So once you add in the 1 hour 24 minute journey from Whitstable to Victoria, it means over 4 hours.
If you're thinking of coming out with us again, it's worth buying a Network Rail Card, which saves 1/3rd on fares (not on Advance tickets). Costs £30, so you'll break even this time.best part of £90
Thank you for that reminder Nick, I've just sorted mine outIf you're thinking of coming out with us again, it's worth buying a Network Rail Card, which saves 1/3rd on fares (not on Advance tickets). Costs £30, so you'll break even this time.
Ta for the warning - I need to sort my advance ticket, which is now useless.ust trying to sort out my tickets and the trains from Whitstable to STP
Ha! It's only 'possibly' now. It all depends on how strong the wind is going to be across the marshes. If it's too tasty, I have a plan B which does not involve a train. On the up side, not riding back means I shall be staying for beer.Ta for the warning - I need to sort my advance ticket, which is now useless.
Tag along with @rb58 who is definitely riding back
