On half of my six attempts, I've caught the first train of the day out of Chesham, which given I travel there from Woodford means a 3.30am alarm.

try doing it from bmth nigel that means a 2.50am alarm

for the first HT4 train, awake by 03:00 and leave the house at 03:30 gets there in plenty of time from Milton Keynes

Probably advisable to get your tickets the day before. You don't want to encounter problems with a ticket machine at 5.05am

I've never had a problem. Make sure you bring a card though- I had to buy Andi's ticket on my card as he only had cash!

thats not usually a problem just was that day

Some of those alarms sound like lie ins to me (and no doubt Neil and Matthew)

5am alarm clock?! That was indeed a a lie-in when I was on dead earlies at Paddington.

so i can buy a ticket for the following day to save time?? i'll have to look into that at cockfosters station

The machines won't let you but you should be aable to get it from a human

... and if your are doing it from Yorkshire, you get up at 10pm, half an hour before you go to bed

(... and drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when you get home, your Dad and mother would kill you and dance about on your grave singing Hallelujah.
