I agree , ditch those daft flip up seats - and fit proper seats instead.
Commuter trains are for transporting people, not equipment. If
someone can't fit their bike in thats just tough ****. People don't
expect to fit a non folding bike on a bus so why should they expect
to fit one on a train?

And where would people in wheelchairs go? Or would you ban them from
trains too? Even commuter trains aren't just for sardines.

Well most stations arn't wheelchair accessable anyway so its a moot point and
I'm sorry if someone is in a chair but public transport is not really for
them. The majority has to take precendence I'm afraid. There is something
called dial-a-ride you know. The recent move to make tube trains wheelchair
friendly is just idiotic pandering to political correctness.
