After announcing that all the old trains would be
withdrawn and London to Brighton riders would have to
return by coach/lorry, Southern Railway (the _new_ name
for South Central) have announced that the old trains are
now going to be in service for another year. Anyone who
has not booked road transport back could try the train
company, but you will probably get short shrift and the
cattle trucks will just run back virtually empty. 0/10 for
sustainable transport ;-(

When I did the ride last year, they removed the seats and
gave half the carriages to bikes. Pretty well done by the
train company.

Still, if I was to di it again, i'd book a B&B and stay
the night and have a party. Didn't last year as I went
on my tod. In fact, I vowed I wouldn't do it again. Too
many inconsiderate cyclists, both beginners and
experienced alike.
