about a CTC group ride in the 1950's - assisted by the railway. Not a scrap of lycra or carbon fibre anywhere (and not many cars, either)

It is a good film. There was a thread about it a while ago - hang on... here you are.

I was only 3 so they wouldn't let me go with them.

This company provides chartered trains from Edinburgh (or Falkirk) to Fort William - steam and diesel with room for 150 bikes!

Great film, I was thinking that it a shame we don't have those cycle carriages anymore unless you book the with Isla Vassi link above. On normal trains you have to try and squeeze your bike into a small space on trains if they allow you on.
