Does anyone have much experience of cycle carraige on Trans Pennine trains?
I live practically next door to Chester-le-Street station and there's bike path the 12 miles from Darlington station most of the way to Stockton where I work. So I wonder about getting the train to Darlo and biking into work.
But how much of a faff is it taking my bike on a TPX train? Obviously I would have to be certain I can get my bike on the train each way every day otherwise there's no point.

Their website seems reasonably clear: https://www.tpexpress.co.uk/travel-information/on-board/cycle-policy/Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.0

Yes, I've read that; I was looking to see if anyone has experience of how it works in practice as website blurb doesn't always match reality.0

These things can often vary according to who you meet on the day. You may get helpful staff one day and Mr Jobsworth the next.markhewitt1978 wrote:Yes, I've read that; I was looking to see if anyone has experience of how it works in practice as website blurb doesn't always match reality.0
