New Commute

Conductor always has the final say. It's well worth making friends with them.

You have not spent much time in Welly then !!

Only driving through with the doors locked

Sound like time for a new bike, well not a new one and old ugly one.

Can you get your bike on the return train OK?
Can you manage the commute with 2 bikes? Solid tyres are probably a good choice for any bike you leave in London.
A 10 mile morning ride can be done in polycotton pants, the Go Outdoors ones are cheap, quick-dry and narrower cut than most.
Keep some spare underpants and socks at work.

Yes, I'm booked on the return train - as long as I don't miss it. Again, I am expecting the reservation system to be honored. To be honest you don't see many people travelling with bikes on the train, it will be interesting to see how this changes in the summer.
Not looking to keep a bike in London, tried it before and it was more hassle than it was worth and I went over to using Boris Bikes instead.
Thanks for the tip about Go Outdoors, I have a wander down to have a look.

UAT (Disabled) toilets provide a good changing room. Pity they don’t fit showers on board too.
