Wilmslow. Cycles may be carried free of charge on Greater Manchester
and Mersey Rail areas, provided there is space available on the train.
To check availability of this facility telephone either Liverpool: 0151-236
7676 or Manchester: 0161-228 7811.
On main line Intercity
and Regional Railways outside these areas, there is a charge of about
£5.00 per cycle per single journey (subject to possible change - check
for current prices), but these must be booked in advance at your local
station.
