At the rear end of the train (the carriage furthest from the driving end) there is an area with 4 bike racks, If not then get it on it's rear wheel and stand near the door letting people past.

Lol @ the 12 BMX's... Trains arent too busy at the times I'm going because I'm a half 9 start so should be fine..

No seats, just bike racks on one side- seats on the other side collapse for more space. We had 2 lots of BMXs 4 deep, 2 onto of the 4, then another 2 on the other side.
Bottom line Kano is that you're ALLOWED to take bikes on trains, whether they have special places to store them is there problem but they cant refuse to let you on.

some ticket controller people can be funny about this kind of thing. i used to ride BMX with my brother and afew mates and we regularly got told that there was a problem with us having bikes on the train. then again i think the problem was more that there was afew of us, not the fact that we had bikes. if you get me

If you find an old train they have huge bike carrages, like a big room and you could probably get about 30 bikes in.

yer should be fine. Best thing is to just ask at the station before hand. thats what we did. Although you i cant see there been any probs at all.
Some pics from the other day came out well. Got all these people plus others behind the camera on one train with bikes

Got an old skool GT Zaskar to kick about on just now, so should do the trick..
