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.
