Interesting 

This sort of nonsense, combined with the State's attempts to get us all to drive at 3mph, is just going to encourage people to fly. 

There's a climate mergency ffs, they should be encouraging people to use public transport. 

*emergency

Seems like a fuss about nothing given the ability of anyone to enforce it. Golden rule, if you can carry it on and off then you can take it so there is a natural limit of about 2 large suitcases and a backpack anyway. 

I could get behind mandatory removal of rucksacks from backs when boarding a commuter train. Feels like this should be enforced by mob rule. 

They've been sneaking this kind of thing into trains for a while.

You can't take surfboards on trains anymore and now you have to book your bike in. You used to just be able to shuffle on and off with a bike no problem.

I hate modern trans.

Er, whoops...I mean I hate 'trains'

Does one no longer send one's gentleman ahead with the steamer trunk?

At university I usd to have to have a massive trolley to the guard's van where my bike went and then the vast number of bags and cases. This rule would have made things very difficult.

AHH yes, the early days of steam. 

3mph? What? That seems ridiculous! 

I miss the old days of the railway station porters who charged exorbitant fees to help you with your luggage.

Maybe 7mph in certain lanes.
