LEJOG
Things are changing here at /home/mseries, I have been offered a job, a 5
month contract to start on May 17th. My plans for LEJOG in July have been yet again thwarted so Mrs MSeries suggested I fit it in before I start work again. I need to sign on every two weeks so I have been doing some planning this afternoon, I could start my journey next Thursday (29th) ride back home for the 5th so I can sign on on the 6th, then continue my journey on the 7th ! I will get back home on the 14th or so - perfect. It gets better, just done some surfing on the trainline.com and found I can get a single train ticket to Penzance for £34 with changes at Brissol Parkway and Plymouth. What do we think of changing at these stations, easy with a bike ? What about bikes on these trains ? |

I'm glad you've been offered a job. I hope it works out well and is enjoyable.
I hope you can get LEJOG fitted in too. Cheers, helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove fame & fortune **$om $ --Due to financial crisis the light at the end of the tunnel is switched off-- |

If so, yes they take bikes, but you have to pay a quid if you reserve more than small number of hours before the train leaves, otherwise it's 3 quid. Tandems get charged as 2 bikes. The service from Paddington to Cornwall has a huge great guards van, make sure you know which end it will be, as they wait for no man. Tim |
