Sigh. Sometimes life plays tricks on you. If I am made redundant on March 31 I shall hand back my £4,000 a year season ticket (because I won't need it to get to work) to get some money back. This means my ticket to York will be invalid because I won't have with me the Annual Gold Card that gave me a tiny discount when I bought it. So I'll have to buy another ticket. Since buying the first ticket, prices have gone up. Sigh.
But on a brighter note, I shall be A Pensioner. Does this mean I will automatically get a Dicky Bladder? And be as fast as Gordon? (And StuartG can just shut up right now, before he starts, about his bloody bus pass, which I don't get until I am 63 at least).

Martin, it's just a sign that you should ride up with me. It's flat all the way (Dell says so)

Annual Gold cards only give a Network Card discount ie just within the South East, so don't cover trips to York. You should find the actual tickets don't make any reference to a card discount.

+1 (recently checked out season ticket prices etc myself).
I've booked into the IBIS. Only £26. I intend to have some black beer with my brekkie to get my iron levels up, before the grand depart

Due to my big fat bail last year I was really looking forward to actually completing the ride this year but unfortunately the date clashes with my friend arriving from Belgium on the Saturday. Gutted!

Hi Adrian. Is your offer of lending the bike bag still going. Just received my ticket from southern rail with no bike reservation. Rang them and threw my toys out of the pram. Got me nowhere but I felt better for a whole thirty seconds. Cate2283604 said:

Hull to London at 1030. I ticked the bike reservation option and even paid more because my original choice said no spaces were available - hence the toy throwing - but cling film or a cheap bike bag is sounding like a good option.
the Southern website has a tick-box for bike reservations. Some other websites don't. I recommend Southern because I get possibly thirty or forty e-mails a year asking about bike reservations - and I can give the same answer every time. That's not a recommendation for the company, which is run by bike-hating loons (see also Olympic Bike Ban)
