Today on regular train/cycle commute, I was told by the guard to move my bike from leaning against the track side doors. He said that if a train comes the other way a vacuum can cause the doors to shake and my bike would somehow make the doors open, its also a fire escape.
This is the first time I have heard of this, and regularly people lean against the doors and put bikes. there.
As there are only 4 official bike spaces on the train this would mean if they were all full I would not be able to get on, this is what he also confirmed. So I could potentially be waiting at the platform all day for a clear space.
Sound ridiculous and I hope they are not cracking down on this, as it just won't work.
