I can't be bothered to check, but I'm fairly sure that the National Conditions of Carriage say that bikes are at the discretion of the operator, i.e. they can turn bikes away if they feel there are too many. I should say I spent 6.5 years in the rail industry, so this is probably right.

In reality it won't be a problem as some people dash off straight away, some hang around for a bit, some get smashed and get the last train.

Yasi

dad works for southern, i should ask but i think you're pretty much spot on fox. i know that the trains have a little bike parking thing next to the disabled toilets takes 3 bikes i think but more if you pile bikes on top of each other. shall we just cycle back? or to a smaller station
• #103

Fox

Nah just get the train. It was proper busy yesterday as the train had been delayed arriving or something, we were still fine. I wouldn't worry about it tbh. I've done L to B quite a few times, never had a problem.

Will see you in Brighton! :)

It's the polo tourney on the Saturday, and then this a real LFGSS weekender pour moi.
Also have 9 french men staying with me that weekend!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
