Railways

I think it's up to the train company to accommodate all passengers including cyclists. I sometimes feel a little irritated by parents who refuse to fold a buggy which then blocks the way but... Hey

You know Id be happy if my railway franchise could come up with a train to put a bicycle in..........

Don't blame the cyclist, blame the train company if they don't provide a guard's carriage for bikes. The cyclist is doing his bit for the planet.

If they have paid for themselves and the cycle then what can one do?

Commutes not vomited

My son in law cycles to station then vomited to London then cycles to his job to save money and keep fit,he has just had a baby to support so please just live and let live.a little more kindness can go a long way

The train my DD2 uses always has two pram spaces, adjacent to each other, and two hanging racks for bikes. She often gets on to find that there's a cyclist standing next to his bike, which is taking up both pram spaces. I assume they just can't be bothered to hang the bike up, though they always manage it if the guard gets involved.

If someone takes a bike into a carriage, I think they are breaking the railway rules and conditions. Most trains have specific places where bikes can be placed and limit the number of bikes per service.

You should speak to your local station or HQ HSE of the train line involved. Having said that, if you are talking bikes that fold right down, then they are no worse than large loaded rucksacks or suitcases, which also often clutter gamgways and exits. Full size bikes should NOT be in passenger coaches.

That's as may be, but what happens in the case of an accident and the exits and gangways are blocked?

Live and let live. They may well have a long ride home from the station.

Not ideal but they are as entitled as the next person if they’ve paid their fare provided the train company involved allow bycicles as each provider is different. I think cyclists are told that wheel chair/buggy space can be used for someone with a bike.
