Interesting. I had to go up to London the other day and was
surprised to see several bikes on the train. I didn't realise they
weren't already "enforcing" this policy or I might have taken my
own bike. 

but Shirley you are SET not Southern; different company, different
rules, different colour, same trains, same leaves


Maybe we should organise a suitcase-carrying campaign for the 16th
to mark the occasion?


or bike bags

Tables, ironing boards etc are all permitted 

A bloke buys a fishing rod, 5 feet long and gets on a train. Oh no,
says the guard, you can't bring that on here, maximum parcel length is
4 feet.  Bloke gets off train, goes back to shop and gets rod put in a
box. Gets on next train no problem.

How big was the box? 

1.8m x 20cm x 20cm.

The next train was run by a different company.
