I haven't approached them myself but many have. I should do really. @williamnb.eurosky.social has a nice guide on the complexity of bikes on UK trains. It's not impossible, just often frustrating. www.willcycle.com/adventure/bi...

Bikes on Trains UK: Rules By Operator, From Personal Experience
UK train operators each have different bike policies, and the official information isn't always accurate. I've tested this across multiple operators myself. Updated for 2026.

Priority is rail profit for the rail companies. A bike takes up space for multiple passengers. Infrastructure design is around getting to/from stations but not onward journeys with a bike. Long long ago we had "guards vans" on trains with lots of space for luggage and bikes. Long gone now.

Complicated with the fragmented ownership. Mostly private companies run the trains, some being taken back into state ownership, the infrastructure is run by different people, and a long journey may involve multiple companies with different rules. Can raise it with our MPs but it doesn't help much.

Fairly broken in Britain though. A lot of trains, little space for bikes on them, usually filled with luggage, bikes forbidden at peak times, and e-bikes banned on some services. Plenty of cycle parking at stations (theft is high though) but taking the bike to the destination is tricky.

You could phone in live to the show. Just don't try when watching a recording on a Saturday morning else you may get Sarah Greene or Cheggers on Superstore (Noel and Posh Paws having left the year before) #018118055

I don't care about the Pound now. Don't care about Charlie's mug on notes and coins and I don't use cash anyway. Euro or Pound it's just numbers to me, so I'm not bothered by the Euro.

To be fair, that's true indirectly. He could have said Trump was involved though. Trump started a war with Iran, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices shot up. Thieves targeted profitable fuel.

Yeah the fee went up to £50, but they're adding another £30 to file it, when it's just a few clicks to file in my case and I'm paying them to do this stuff already. Though I can file it myself.

Accountants saying they're adding fees for filing company house statements due to the work involved in filing and checking. Err, isn't that what I'm paying them a monthly fee for anyway (too much already given they just push buttons on FreeAgent and I have to keep prompting them)? Time to bin 🗑️

The only Iranian link here is Trump's idiotic war with Iran causing fuel prices to go through the roof, thus fuel thieves

PR would give Reform more representation but not power. Under FPTP they may get power with a minority of the vote share. They'd also likely not turn up in parliament if they have no power.

Foreign to UK, ie Trump and Putin who've caused fuel prices to go through the roof and encourage fuel thieves, which is who these people likely are.
