Maybe this could encourage the train operator of the London Norwich line to invest in a contention style bicycle carriage for such events! (or double-up their existing fine spacious luggage/bicycle carriage)

How much would such a carriage cost?
How many bikes could it take at a time?
How many times could it be used in a single day?
How many bikes could it carry in a day?
How much money (at £20 a ticket) could it theoretically pull in in a day?My guess would be £1m cost, 400 bikes if you really packed it well, used 3 times in a day (it's got to get from Ipswich to Liverpool St and back each time), at £20 each that'd be £24k. So it'd require 41 days carrying 1200 bikes a day to recoup the outlay, ignoring all operating and maintenance expenses.
I'm out.

Will definitely book!
