Once I was at Kings Cross Thameslink with my Brompton unfolded, and I kept it like that to the Victoria Line platforms (since the wheels on the carrier are akin to useless). Since the train was coming in I got on like that, and had it folded by the time I got off at Highbury and Islington (WAGN also require it to be folded at this point). I noticed the train operator looking back to check on me! They are quite amazing bikes but pretty pricey I think... True, but worth every penny -- and forever getting favourable comments. Very quick to fold and unfold, with a little practice. Regards, Clive -- The fastest AS/400 programmer in the west! | Note -- spamtrap in use. | Use the Reply-to address.

In message , Kat writes The Train Operator would be well within his/her rights (outside the specified times and on wrong sections of the line) to ask you to leave the train. And frequently do - In fact I did today :-) I never do with a Brompton though as they are specifically allowed.
