    Not exactly what I'd have specified as bikes can still roll around & fall over - for same price as wheel-bender wings, you could use Orion Gamma or the Brodie Engineering detail from Class 153's

    Still 3 pairs of fixed seats replaced by 6 tip up seats giving 3 metres of clear bodyside space to use flexibly

    This point to be pestered on LNER, TPE and others using Hitachi trains, often with empty seats, and still due a campaign to replace or fix the cracking bolster beams due to yaw damper cyclic overloads* (during which the cycle space changes can be a minor added detail)

    *Historically relates to 1960's freight train detailments on ECML, when they started running fast on long stretches of CWR
