I got the distinct impression that if you hadn't booked your bike it was not going. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19930#post-317207 Wed, 06 Nov 2019 09:01:12 +0000 Tulyar 317207@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Almost tempting to invite 'bike-count' reports, especially where it is clear that Scotrail's front line staff are making measured decisions, backed by a clear understanding of what is practical and safe relative to the number of passengers and other operating conditions at the time.</p> <p>Managed operation of cycle traffic already sees significant use of trains to Ardrossan for the Arran Ferry, and as observed by @cyclingmollie on the Borders railway route. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19930#post-317023 Sun, 03 Nov 2019 23:08:01 +0000 Cyclingmollie 317023@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A couple of weeks ago the ticket inspector on the Borders line counted three bikes on a rack meant for two and I fessed up that mine was the third. The other two cyclists I'd sat beside for numerical support pointed out that "we were here first" which didn't help. I said sorry and the inspector left it at that. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19930#post-317011 Sun, 03 Nov 2019 18:48:30 +0000 Tulyar 317011@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Came through on the E-G train the other week, and noted the ticket checker counting up bikes (and passengers) Seems that this had been going on for a few weeks. Anyone else noted this? </p>
