Best practices at a glance:
- Choose folding bicycles and scooters: They can be taken on board without reservation, for greater simplicity.
- Choose quieter times: For a more comfortable journey, choose trains running after 9am and before 5pm, which are generally less busy.
- Board at the right place: Look for the bicycle symbol on the outside of the train, near the bicycle door, and board at that location.
- Prepare your bicycle: Remove your panniers and luggage to make it easier to store and keep it safe on board.
- Arrive early: Arrive about 15 minutes before departure to give yourself time to load your bicycle.
- Plan ahead for disembarking: Prepare to disembark in advance so as not to inconvenience other passengers.
