Simon wrote about this back in June, and today I took the opportunity for a ride on the new railway.
Hans' ride took us to the George in Holyport, a good pub and a nice ride. What I usually do on rides to this part of the country is to leave the group at lunchtime and carry on west for a bit to pick up the GWR North Downs route round to Reigate. I can then ride home over the hill and avoid the school-run traffic.
I noticed that the George was only a couple of miles from Maidenhead, so, for novelty really, I decided to take the Elizabeth Line home.
The trains are about every twenty minutes. They aren't all that fancy, rather like the Overground trains. But there's plenty of room, and plenty of room for bicycles, which are allowed except for the normal morning and evening rush-hour restrictions.

Lift at Farringdon sounds interesting and cycle friendly Eliz Line. Thanks for the write up.
