Rodford Big Billy? They are the same size as a normal bike and go on trains fine

Cheers, yes, that's a good idea.
I've heard enough stories from some disabled people to fear the experience of trying to board a train with a non standard bike. I assume most cargo bikes like the bullitt will be a non-starter (either in policy itself or in the way train staff choose to implement their policy).
the omnium mini seems like the obvious choice but I think is too small for my needs; the mini max seems like a sensible choice for selected infrequent train travel - looks a bit like a normal bike, shorter than a tandem and if someone decides its width is a problem, its rack could be grudgingly removed.
