South by train – with a non-folding bicycle

Sunny start

First time traveling in a long while with a non-folding bike. The chief difference is that I had to book the bike on most of the trains, including the far north line and the sleeper.

A stunning train ride to Inverness.

The bike went into a room on a carriage for bikes and large luggage. Not sure about the way the bike is hung up.

Breakfast not impressive.
Euston station
Getting ready to ride to Waterloo.

Interesting ride, an impressive number of cyclists on route to work, some with no road sense. One, who was on my right, turned left across my path without looking or signalling.

The cycle route.
The stats.

Nice to be the fastest for a change. Faster than the bikes and the cars πŸ™‚.

Waterloo

Some jeopardy getting onto the SWR train, as they don’t do bookings for bikes. Will I get a space?

Poole
Arrived at Dorchester

It only required three trains to get from the north coast of Scotland to the south coast of England. Weather good all the way,
