Bikes on trains

[Colm Moore]

RUI have a page dedicated to the carraige of bikes on trains here: http://www.railusers.ie/passenger_info/bikes.php

An updated list of services that can carry bikes is included here: http://www.irishrail.ie/your_journey...9_19012009.pdf

Note, other than Cork-Dublin and Dublin-Belfast, very few trains now have guards vans. On the new intercity railcars (22000s) bikes can be carried in the same carriage as the wheelchair space. The basic availibilty is one bike in the cupboard in 3-car trains (two cupboards on a 6-car train). A rack to carry a further two bikes is being fitted to the entire fleet and has been fitted to all 6-car trains and about half of the 3-car trains.

Any number of folding bikes can be carried as normal luggage. It is preferred if the are covered.
