| Cycle Policy - Note |
It’s no problem if you need to bring your bicycle when you travel with us. All you need to do is make a reservation at the same time as you buy your ticket to ensure there is dedicated space available for it. You’ll need to place your standard bicycle in designated storage areas, and for safety reasons they’re not allowed in aisles and vestibules. If you have a folding bicycle, you can carry it on as personal baggage and you don’t have reserve a place. For safety and space reasons please wait until you are on the platform before you assemble your folding bicycle. |
