Can't say we had any issues at all with the trains. I checked the cycling policy and, given that they don't have any tandem-specific conditions, assumed that they'd have to treat the tandem just like any other bike. Certainly that's the argument I had prepped for the train guard. We were travelling well outside peak time though.
@cruffiton Chainrings don't slip do they? Pretty sure it's the sprockets that are the problem, but I can't work out why. It's even more difficult to assess from the pilot's position about five feet away!
