Chiltern Railways train travel advice

- Luggage: You can bring what you can carry, but be sensible about it. Store bags in the overhead racks or at the ends of carriages - they mustn't obstruct walkways or exits.
- Bicycles: Bikes are welcome at weekends, on public holidays and during off-peak times on weekdays. You can't bring a bike on trains arriving into London between 07:45-10:00 or leaving London between 16:30-19:30, Monday to Friday.
