SWT/Cycle survey
If you are in the South West Trains region, keep an eye out at your
railway station for a leaflet with a survey in it. SWT want to hear your views on taking bikes on their services. Tell them how you feel! -- |

SWT/Cycle survey

If you are in the South West Trains region, keep an eye out at your railway station for a leaflet with a survey in it. SWT want to hear your views on taking bikes on their services. Tell them how you feel! -- The leaflet only contains a postcard you return to them so they can put you on their database. The whole premise of this phoney 'consultation' seems wrong, IMHO. SWT want to increase rush hour restrictions on cyclists. They seem to wish to reduce cycle capacity all in all. I went to Weymouth from London earlier this week (without a bicycle). The whole of the centre coach was taken up by the buffet car, yet the buffet closed at Brockenhurst, after which almost half the journey (in time, at least) was without any use for that central car. This trip was on a weekday afternoon. We broke our return journey, to visit David's father in Christchurch. On one train there were no catering facilities, so the central car was unused, on one there was only a trolley, so again the centre car was unused and it was only on our final train that the buffet car was in use for the whole trip. If they think the cyclists' use of space is uneconomical, I think they should review the catering. Decent space that wouldn't require the cyclist to hang bikes up could easily be supplied... They might even prevent some of us getting cars and never using the railway again... -- Helen D. Vecht: Edgware. |

Firstly Get hold of some of the postcards from the CTC and hand them out to fellow train using cyclists. Secondly when travelling try and take note how many other passengers are on the train. Some journeys I have made with bike (off-peak) I've made up 50% of the train's custom. Let the SRA know how much you use the trains and also what percentage of the passenger numbers are cyclists.
