Last night's recce with Ved went well.
The train was not too busy at all. The handy bit is that it arrives from it's inward destination at 18:45, meaning we can all jump on early doors. It's only a 4 carriage job, but has one of those sections for disabled users. You could stick 4-5 bikes in there easy. The other handy part is that we will board and depart from the same side (this also includes the one stop at Bromley South), so a couple of bikes can go in each of the doorways on the opposite side.
This makes it sound like it will be busy, but it will be fine.
Saying all this, I am still totally up for the possibility of people also catching the train from Blackfriars that arrives in St Mary Cray 15 mins after the Victoria service. If the option is there, why not use it?
I may well still tinker with a small section, but for now I'll leave it to Ved to give you his thoughts on last night's route.
Oh, and BTW, I made a great call on the weather as it was a perfect night for bike riding!
