.... starts Saturday, for the summer. Swish new (almost!!) open-top bus
round the New Forest, take your bike on the trailer part way, pedal through
the Forest, pick up the bus somewhere else.... as much as you like, all day.

Luxury accommodation for your pushbike. (Odd shaped bikes catered for - I
had a trike on last year!)

But sorry, they aren't doing the cheap vouchers this year.

Time table should be on www.solentblueline.com very soon ,,,, I think they
forgot to put it on....

Why not come and meet your 1,323rd favourite poster??

Tempting. Do you go anywhere near Totton? I'll be down your way for a
wee while at the beginning of July..

There is ONE feeder at the start of the day, with one return at the end of
the day, which would go past Rustington Roandabout (A35/A325 junction), then
on down thru Ashford to the normal start of the circular at Lyndhurst Car
Park. Haven't got the times in front of me right now.. keep an eye on SBL
website?

HTH.

Oh, come on. That was an interesting message of potential use to members
of the group. If it were too frequently repeated it would be spam. But
an increase in /genuinely/ bike-friendly public transport is exactly
what we need to get more people cycling, and announcements about it are
surely on topic.

Morning had broken, and I found when I looked that we had run out
of copper roove nails.

Indeed. It's just a pity he's shot himself in the foot by getting

Simon, I'm pleased to inform you that the test shows your irony bypass
if now fully functioning.

Not at all. Those of you with open minds might benefit. Those of you with
closed minds certainly won't. Doesn't make much difference to me either
way - I still get paid the same!

And thanks for your words of support, Simon.

Well if I lived in a village on the A711 I'd probably still want a
bypass ;-)

Have you ever seen the A711? At the height of summer, maybe forty cars an
hour. At this time of year, half that. On a good summers day around here
you'll see more cyclists than cars.

Which is, I have to say, the way I like it.

So sorry to hear that. I hope it mends soon.

I picked up a NFT timetable from Eastleigh SBL office this morning.
I may be using it soon to get to Lymington.

Unfortunately the leaflet doesn't give the ticket price.

Do you know what it is?
