Bicycles on the c2c route
Where space is available, and it is safe to do so, you are welcome to bring bicycles (including e-bikes) on our trains. We just ask you to store them sensibly for the consideration of other passengers. However, we are not able to accept cycles, except folding cycles, at our busiest times.
Folding Cycles
Fully folding cycles can be carried at any time. Passengers may be asked to fold their bicycle when going through the ticket barriers.
Folding cycles should be transported in a protective carrying case.
Policy for carrying cycles on c2c trains:
- Cycles are not permitted on weekday services arriving in London Fenchurch Street between 07:14 and 09:30, or leaving London Fenchurch Street between 16:30 and 18:35
- If you plan to travel with 3 or more cyclists please contact us on 03457 444 422 (option 6) where we can advise you further
- Tandems and tricycles are not permitted
- During engineering work, cycles cannot be accommodated on c2c replacement bus services
- Motorcycles are not permitted on any service
- Cycles are carried at owners risk (see National Rail Conditions of Travel) or for further information visit www.nationalrail.co.uk
- Cycles must be carried in the designated area on the train and must not obstruct doors and aisles
- Reservations are not required on c2c trains but may be required on some other operators
- Please don’t lock your cycle to any part of the train. You are also reminded not to leave your cycle unattended at any time during your journey
E-scooters & similar
From September 4 2023, e-scooters, e-hoverboards and e-unicycles will not be permitted on c2c services. This is in line with regulations in place with all other train companies.
