engineering work is closing the line between Bishops Strortford and Waltham Cross tomorrow with bus repalcement which looks slower that just cycling even if it could be used.
I’m in the same boat I’m planning to get the train from Audley end to Stortford then cycling from there, so not much of a lie in for me :'( I’ll probably be awake early anyway though with the excitement…
Don’t know which way you are coming. But tomorrow you could get a Thameslink Cambridge to Stevenage, then the train from Stevenage to Gordon Hill (near Waltham Cross), then it’s 16km ride to start.
The train journey is 1 hour 32 min elapsed , with 20 mins at Stevenage to get on the correct platform.
You’ll come into Stevenage on platform 1 or 2, trains to Gordon Hill are either platform 1 (if Thameslink) or platform 5 (if great northern). Platform 1/2 has a lift you’ll fit your recumbent in. The lifts are north of the steps, north being the direction the train arrived from. Lift doors facing north. Platform 5 is new and I’m not sure if it has a lift as I’ve not been on it with my bike. From platform 1/2 lift go left and ignore ticket barriers directly in front of you, and after ticket machines, take the steps down to left and before exiting station cover. You might need to carry your loaded bike down a couple of flights of steps. Ticket barriers at bottom but usually station staff to open the wide gate, though your ticket should do the job.
Edit - New platform 5 has a lift
