FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast York to Hull 9th September 2011

[Mice]

As I'm no longer able to do this ride, I've got some surplus tickets going for the face value, if anyone's interested:-

Kings Cross to York, Friday 9th September depart 15:08 £14.60 with bike reservation (it's early as I was going to see relatives- however means plenty of drinking time for someone).

Hull to Kings Cross, Saturday 10th September depart 10:30 £15.00 with bike reservation.

oooh hello! If you are sure, I would gratefully take these tickets as I have none. (I was aiming for a later train up as I was hoping for a snooze somewhere but I might find a bench to tie my bike to!) But tickets are better than no tickets so if I could put my name down that would be great.

Simon, could you please put me down for this one? I'm not 100% committed (!) yet as I'll be in Cambridge the day before and need to sort out trains etc, but fingers crossed I can make it all work.

Hi Simon. If I'm not already on the list for this, please can you add me to it.

Thanks

Dave

As I said over in the Bognor ride thread, I'm going to be somewhat encumbered by a couple of new felines, and don't really want to cart them off to a cattery quite yet, so will have to bow out of this ride as well. ...

Actually, I just realised that this won't just be a case of being nice to the cats, since the kitten won't have finished her vaccination injections by then, so can't go into a cattery.

How many are we up to now Dell?

This is a lovely route, especially crossing the Humber Bridge on the cycle-path on the edge of the bridge as the sun comes up. It is also pretty flat if people are worried about hills.

Please - count me in; you have an e-mail

Oooh - I've got all excited; all the family tours planned this summer have fallen through ---- this'd make up for it . I'll need to borrow #2 son's nice headlight to supplement my dead basic one ... but since I paid for it, don't see a problem.

This is probably a daft question, but having never taken a bike on a train before, I'm a bit confused as to how cycle bookings work. I'll need to get back to York afterwards but I can't seem to find any trains with cycle reservations available. Does this mean they're all booked up, or just that bookings aren't available with this operator (Northern Rail)?

 

[mcshroom]

Northern rail don't do bookings for bikes, you just turn up.

They have nominally 2 bike spaces per train but they are one of the more relaxed operators so I wouldn't worry too much about getting on

 

[phantasmagoriana]

Ah ok, thanks. Might be interesting if lots of FNRTTCers all try and pile on the same train then!

+1 I've used them a lot - dad + 3-4 kids, all with bikes; they've always seen us right - not even a raised eyebrow. Unless I'm daft enough to try a sardine-tin morning commuter train!

Can you please remove me from the list I have to do some work on the outside of the house before winter gets here.
