Ah! yes Stephanie, I know what you mean about standing all the way from London Bridge to Ashford, have done that myself a number of times untill I saw sense and went back to Charing Cross and started from there with a comfortable seat. Well worth that bit of extra time.
Also, just thought I would share the following update with you all and especially Bern. I am Happy to report that the Deal to Dover rail replacement bus service on Sunday morning was, and wait for it, warm, clean and with a very courteous and cheery bus driver, so its not all bad then.
