Bikes on Crosscountry 170s

[ashley84]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone is able to comment on what the bike storage is like on Crosscountry 170s? I can see according to the Crosscountry website that there are two reservable spaces next to the accessible toilets - but does anyone know if these allow the bike to stay horizontal or need to be tipped upright? I need to travel with a cargo bike, which is not significantly larger than a standard bike in dimensions but is very heavy and not very practical to tip vertically (would be hopeless in the Voyager-style bike spaces, for example.)

Thank you,

Tom

Horizontal. You share the space with any wheelchairs.

Please make sure you get a reservation made as you can be turned away without one.

As has been said, you'll keep the bike horizontal and have to share space with any wheelchair users. Not often an issue though.

Not the best photo, but one from 2020 of my old mountain bike on a 170

Horizontal. You share the space with any wheelchairs.

Or if yours is the only bike and there are no wheelchairs you can leave it upright on the floor (beneath the cycle rail) and sit next to it in the assistance seat as I have done many times

Thank you both, much appreciated.
