Putting a bicycle on a train

Agreed. Pootle down to the seaside, have a few pints and a spot of lunch and get the train home. Much more civilized.

Sound nic, yes. But then if you can't get the bike on the train home, you're buggered. Experience has taught us to train out / cycle back as we've had so many pig-headed, pompously titled 'train managers' to deal with. Also, if you're booking, it's easier to be sure of times outward bound.

Precisely. So we're going to tip up at the station tomorrow at 6.45 am and hope we can get our bikes on. If not, we've got a contingency to cycle out to Weston, follow the coast down to Burnham and back cross country via Glastonbury.

Looks like a nice day for it. Have a good ride.
