  • What time is the train leaving Euston?

    The train leaves Euston at 6.05am, it's the first North West service on the Saturday. I've got a cycle reservation up until Wigan (as far as I could get), at which point the spaces should be taken by other bikes.

    Any chance of a refund on your advance tickets

    Unfortunately not; though talk of tickets made me think about different travel options (rather than methods for keeping my bike on the 6:05). I attempted to secure a reservation on a slightly later journey from Wigan to Oxenholme with redspottedhanky. It looked promising (I was able to select a bike space); though when I went to submit the booking form a message returned saying that I'm out of luck with my reservation. There's only so late I can push the journey before I'll have to adjust the ride, which I obviously might have to do but I'd rather not if I can avoid it. So for the time being, it's back to the bin bags.

    I generally line up the train I want, make the bike reservations then book the tickets.

    Indeed, quite why I've never considered the issue with the sequence in which I book up the various components of cycling trippage is beyond me. Silly sod.
