I took my original Mini Max on SW Trains loads of times, can’t speak for other rail providers but ours were always reasonable. I never took it on a really busy train though to be fair and it tended to only be one other bike in the bike area.
I don’t think you’d get an Omnium cargo on there and I’ve been refused taking a Bullitt on, but I think it’d probably come down to who the conductor is.

Does anyone have any experience of taking cargo bikes on (UK) trains?
I guess this is generally bloody difficult i.e. generally not permitted, but having seen that video of the bloke and his dog on king alfred way, i'm considering a cargo bike for me and my dog and wondering if its possible to take one on a train for weekend getaways etc. I guess they are considered as being like tandems in restrictions: https://www.atob.org.uk/uk-bike-rail-restrictions/
I figure its less of a problem the shorter and less bulky the cargo bike is, e.g. omnium mini max better than omniums regular cargo size bike, etc
Any experience on this? Should i stick to the forum dog thread?!
