 | Bikes on Trains |  |
Each of the train operators serving Grampian have their own rules and regulations with regard to taking bikes on their trains. See below for specific information on each of the three operator's policies and contact details - however it is always worth contacting them if you are planning a big journey using the train as their rules can change without much notice.
On the day of travel, its a good idea to arrive at the station with time to spare as you may have difficulty getting your bike to the appropriate platform.
Once you have sorted out your route, check The Train Lineg(27255)a(1134453)) for the bestprices on travelling by train.
