Phatmike Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Yeah, central trains are fine, that leg of your journey (Derby - Nottingham) is one that starts in Malvern - Malvern, Worcs, Birmingham, Derby, Nottingham.So yeah you'll be fine.

anzo Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I was reading a Central Trains leaflet yesterday in Derby Station. Where it was on about bikes it said 'A maximum of two bikes may be carried on a Central Train'. Very vague, is that per person, in total on the train, per party?

Danny Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 If anyone remembers back to the redbull bike battle in nottingham on the way back we had about 8 bikes on one of those trains blocking the isle and everything and when the conductor came she said are they your bikes to which we said no. 5 mins later she comes back screaming 'you lied to me' was a funny moment.
