The following is a guide to cycle space availability, including the number of spaces and if tandems or larger cycles such as cargo cycles can be carried, on our different types of trains across all our routes. Our helpful videos show how to safely board and stow your cycle during your journey.
When travelling with your cycle please look for the dedicated wide aisle gate in stations with gateline barriers installed. The other gates will be too narrow for your cycle.
You can find out what type of train you will be travelling on by using the dropdowns below. Simply select the area you are travelling in and then your line of route.
