Experiences of taking an ebike on a train?

[classic33]

Is that on their website, or left as a nasty surprise after you arrive at the station on your e-bike?

The signs saying they're banned have been in Leeds station for over a year.
This bit you already know, because you started an argument before on the same subject.

I went and took some pictures as proof, then decided I was being a pedantic fool and deleted them lol.

I've taken an ebike on GWR and West Coast Intercity trains. Both have poor provision for ebikes, and mine's quite light as ebikes go. I don't expect LNER will be any better.
Thameslink are quite painless by comparison. Except that there's always someone in the folding seat / cycle storage area, despite having another 11 carriages to choose from...

If this true???
not doubting you, but I can;t find anything about it online

Its true, I work there.

Not done by a local station manager. The ban was put in place by Network Rail, and applies to all stations owned/operated by them.
Leeds being just one.

Thanks for letting me know.

Its true, I work there.

Think the manager would think to put something on the website
Possibly in the bit about bike parking facilities??

or is that too much to ask??

Whether it's a local station policy or National Rail's it should be widely publicised on their website!

I was asking on the forum about locking a bike up at Leeds last week. As it happens the bike I was planning to lock up isn't an ebike but it could have been as I have 3, and I never mentioned the the type of bike. I'd have been extremely miffed if I'd turned up and seen those signs!

Not what I asked, but thanks for the personal attack and you can go back on ignore.

And they are stored outside, on the street. Not within station grounds.
