and getting more sensible by the second!
first class post is free, so, effectively my tickets were about 22p each.
(perhaps I should not be telling srw that Grand Central, one of the other companies I mentioned, is refusing to reserve bike spaces over the phone, and telling me I have to go to the station)

Well spotted, Adrian. I'll post a list of my purchases (!) later today but yes, the particular Saturday in question for August is of course the 13th.
I've just been ripped off then!
I've just ordered 4 tickets on the same train to Clapham Junction and had to pay 70p each
(1 or 2 of these may be for sale on the Saturday morning)
Wow! That's some process.
Are you sure you have? It's taken me since nine o'clock this morning until now to buy 7 x 45p tix for the FNRttC to Bognor on August 12th.
Come to think of it - I could've ridden back from Bognor in less time than it has taken to buy the tix
You were right. I couldn't stop. Cheap tickets are addictive. I now have four for the 14:19 from Brighton after the Newhaven ride...
I'll bring the Bagaboo...

I know what you mean! I got -
post Newhaven FNRttC in July:
- 4 x 22/07/2011, 11.30 departure Newhaven Harbour - Clapham Junction @ 45p each. 2 or 3 may be for sale on the day.
- 2 x 22/07/2011, 14.19 departure Brighton - East Croydon @ £5 each. This is Plan A for myself [
TC], which if it comes to pass, then all 4 of the Newhaven tickets will be available... and it's possible that 1 of the Brighton tickets may also be available on the day... too complicated?!
- 4 x 13/08/2011, 10.56 departure Bognor Regis - Clapham Junction @ 45p each. 2 or 3 may be for sale on the day.
Brighton - East Croydon @ £5 each. This is Plan A for myself [
A small but select group is already working on the Brighton Rehydration Plan...

anyone else feel like we hijacked this thread? I mean, I'm not even going on the Genteel Ride to Brighton, being a DunRun devotee.

I think we need a special thread of its own for people who get rather too much pleasure than is good for them or normal from buying more railway tickets than they either need or could possibly use, but try to pretend that it is something to do with cycling.
The thread should go somewhere like 'Commuting' as we don't have a section called 'Hades' yet.

As in "Hey Des, stop showing off stomping up that hill on your fixie" or "Ha des, you'll not do it a fourth time." Anyone got a spare ticket? (No idea what this is all about but I usually buy three or so, for fun...) I predict a trackside fire which will entail a replacement bus service, for one of the chosen days that you greedy lot have bought ticks for, followed by a derailment of this thread...
