Dont have to search a rule book...its basic knowledge in training, They
are banned underground for safety and comfort reasons. Imagine having a a
bike stuck next to you at 08:30 along with the other 500 people.

Won't argue with that.
Bikes are banned on all sections which require escalators to reach,
and all the near-surface lines during the rush hour.
As the poster says, what if a Tube train had to be evacuated inside a
deep tunnel?

One thing I would like to raise in this forum is why bikes are banned
on the DLR at all times?
What's wrong with bikes at evenings and weekends on the DLR?
