Was destined for a train assisted ride today, pouring with rain, but HTFU and went out to the station anyway. ticket already paid for (the less rapey £8 rather than about £15 if I just jumped on) train turned up (on time!) just the usual 1 carriage coastal thing, not allowed on!
Its not a train you can book a space for and there are only a few a day, normally empty, only on saturdays is it anywhere near populated with people.
Conductor said couldn't take the bike as it wasn't a train with a bike space, yet looked like a normal one. I asked if I took the wheels off? No, absolutely no bikes on this train.
So took a step back off it and train went on its way, and me back out in the rain. Ticket was fixed time/ date so lost that. rode home and got a shower, and now on the internets.
Trains suck. period.
