Looks like a generic library picture, but clearly it must have happened
at some point. Last year at Christmas Waterloo looked like that :-(
Floods.

The last time I went on a train it seemed that there were many cyclists
on it, and their bicycles were an f'ing nuisance to all the other
passengers.

How many cycle in from Tunbridge Wells?

Or from Ramsgate, Bedford or East Grinstead?

I bet not many manage it from Hastings or Uckfield.

Case in point - Hull City fans coming back from Fulham today have seen their 1948h train cancelled from King's X. Still, they can celebrate being top instead - if they can afford £6 a pint.

Why wouldn't they be able to afford £6 a piont, they';re rich cyclists
with big pension pots... or something.

And it won't take them long to cycle from London to Hull.

Alternatively, they're all so Considerably more Richer Than Yow that the
price of a taxi to Hull will be a mere fleabite to them.

Wrong question.

How many cycle from stations on the Tunbridge Well line?

Ditto Ramsgate, Bedford, East Grinsted, Hastings and Ukfield.

That's because, having got into London, there's no guarantee of getting a train home. A bicycle is an insurance policy.
