The new V/Line train carriages have space for 14 more passengers - *at the = expense of a toilet, cycle space and other item storage*. Currently, the ca= rriage of bicycles is at the discretion of the Conductor and groups are sim= ply not catered for and are advised to make alternative arrangements. This =
is simply not acceptible in the interests of encouraging more people to use=
cycles. The new carriages make train travel to Melbourne for a day of cycl= ing even less likely.

Want to take a part in trying to reverse the situation? Visit the Bendigo = railway station for the 12:07 train arrival on Tuesday Nov 13 and rub shoul= ders with a few cyclists from Bicycle Network who are coming to Bendigo to = meet with Jacinta Allen, Minister of Transport, and some Friends of the Ben= digo-Kilmore Rail Trail members. Trevor and I will be riding to the Hargrea= ves St Mall for a cup of coffee and some public visibility an hour or two e= arlier if you want to join us. We will be then heading to the station for t=
he train arrival.
