Just a note on the ride out trains. My view is that it is better to ride out solo or in pairs at the most. London rush hour traffic is not the place to be playing follow the leader. With all the distractions inherent in a trip through town I would rather be free to concentrate on what's happening around me than have to divert my attention to others I'm traveling with.
Putting yourself on the ride out list is just a declaration that you're getting there under your own steam, it doesn't mean you'll get your hand held all.the way to the start. If you don't know the way and aren't confident that you can navigate it yourself just come on the train with the cool kids, we have way more fun anyway.
Riding back is much less of an issue as the traffic is lighter, but still, don't presume, ask.
