One could, however, argue that had they specified trains which could carry a

They *will* carry a sensible number of cycles.

They just can't cope with the number that they'd get for an event such as this.

I use Electrostars regularly, and have never seen more than two bikes in one
carriage. And that's *very* rare. You can't expect then to waste space on
providing facilities that are rarely used but would detract from the comfort and
utility of the trains for their bread and butter work.
