After announcing that all the old trains would be withdrawn and London
to Brighton riders would have to return by coach/lorry, Southern
Railway (the _new_ name for South Central) have announced that the old
trains are now going to be in service for another year. Anyone who has
not booked road transport back could try the train company, but you
will probably get short shrift and the cattle trucks will just run
back virtually empty. 0/10 for sustainable transport ;-(

When I did the ride last year, they removed the seats and gave half the
carriages to bikes. Pretty well done by the train company.

Still, if I was to di it again, i'd book a B&B and stay the night and have a
party. Didn't last year as I went on my tod. In fact, I vowed I wouldn't do
it again. Too many inconsiderate cyclists, both beginners and experienced
alike.
