Default Brompton Folding Bike on Tubes

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.


I once allowed someone down onto the platform with an unfolded Brompton
because he assured me he could fold it before an incoming train had opened
its doors; and he could too!
They are quite amazing bikes but pretty pricey I think...



Yebbut worth it. Resale value is high too. I had one (gave it to my
nephew when my MS stopped me riding) and have recommended them to
another poster on this thread...

I'll second that. It's better than some types of "proper" [1] bike.


[1] Not my words!
