As stated in the Transport Decarbonisation Plan, we will increase the amount of space for bikes on trains wherever practically possible, particularly on popular leisure routes, and all future trains will include more bike space relevant to the markets served. There are currently no plans to roll out ‘cycle carriages’ throughout the rail network.
