FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast York to Hull 19 April, 2013

[backpacker144]

+1, IanB, travelling from Peterborough. The latest train I could find with a bike space available gets into York at 20:30, so with three and a half hours to spare, I shouldn't be late for the start.

Just a note for reference - if anyone's thinking of travelling back from Hull by train, it appears the service is disconnected at Goole. I booked a ticket yesterday to go back and there's a bus connection between there and Doncaster.
Sorry if someone's posted this before, I didn't have time to skip over 8pp.

I saw the bus replacement showing on Northern Rail for Saturday 20th April, but First Hull are showing as fine, which hopefully means they are not effected, or they haven't updated their website yet . Fingers crossed, as I'm booked on the 08:25 to Grantham for a snooze, before my ride back to Peterborough.

Description
Engineering work is taking place because of a landslip at Hatfield & Stainforth. Pictures of the landslip can be seen here and here.
The following changes will apply and are expected to continue for several weeks:
Buses are replacing trains between Doncaster and Goole / Scunthorpe, with journey times being extended by up to 60 minutes. In Doncaster, buses will leave from stand C6 in the Interchange and not from outside the railway station. Please allow extra time to change.
First TransPennine Express services between Manchester Airport and Cleethorpes will not run between Doncaster and Scunthorpe
Northern Rail services between Sheffield and Bridlington / Scarborough are being diverted and will not call at Goole
Northern Rail services between Doncaster and Scunthorpe are suspended.

This was caused by a serious landslip which left the rails like this:

I don't expect it will be fixed any time soon.

it's possible that Hull Trains will go via Selby

I have been on Hull trains up to Hull a couple of times and am pretty sure we went via Selby and not Goole. That is the branch that goes down to Scunthorpe.

Hopefully we will be ok

Right. I'm now all set for any eventualities of a deflating kind for this year's FNRttC season.

And in other news, as I was getting a few complaints last year about the mirrored bar ends on my bike which were reflecting front lights, I now have some snazzy black carbon ones fitted.

Yebbut, have you got 406 & 349 tubes in both Presta & Schrader?

Aren't we all?
