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.
You can stand Omniums upright on the front end, as long as the load doesn't sit over the front edge. Much less floorspace taken up that way.
It's a bit wobbly if unsecured but lean the rear wheel on a wall and it would be fine.
Cheers, yes, that's a good idea.
