Most train services will allow cycles to be carried, so that you may start your cycle route some distance away. For example, from Chester, Crewe, Macclesfield or 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.
