I have plans for the Zombie Apocalypse involving multiple heavy duty locks.

No, I'll let the zombies run free. I'll just lock all the racing snakes bikes together. I don't have to out run the zombies, just out run the other people.2374486 said:

Running is for suckers. I'm putting treadmills all around my house and kicking back with a gin and tonic.

is it well known to all that if you book your rail tickets online via the Southern Railway and don't use your ticket, then you can have your money back, no questions asked, or reasons required.
http://www.southernrailway.com/offers/money-back-guarantee/
This means for example, that you could buy a cheap advance online ticket from Bognor to London, to be collected at Bognor station ticket machine on the Friday morning after breakfast. You find that after all you can't do the Thursday night ride. Or you decide after breakfast to ride back to London instead of taking the train. Either way, you don't collect the ticket from the machine and instead claim the money back.
Interestingly, if you were a well organised but rather undecided-about-your-return-route type, you could book cheap advance online tickets from several stations. eg Bognor, Horsham and Hassocks, and decide on the morning whether you fancy riding from Bognor to one of those stations. When there, you pick up the relevant ticket and take the train home, then claim back for the unused and uncollected others.

to be fair, and in my experience, and accepting that past performance is no guarantee of future returns, and acknowledging that attitudes of different train staff will vary, a ticket from Bognor will get you on a train at any station anywhere north of there on the Southern Mainline West route.
Hassocks though would be a no go. Different route, different ticket, and all. It is also a ruddy long way from Felpham and not really in even vaguely the right direction for folk heading to the Great Wen rather than its south-Eastern 'burbs.
Looking at the National Rail website Map, barriers aren't visible in the pictures of the entrances, although that may have changed since they were taken.

None. I was merely providing evidence of your disputed assertions. Some of our fellow travellers seems to doubt you.2376731 said:
