We're very excited to unveil the first of our five Active Travel Carriages. These each have space for up to 20 bikes of all shapes and sizes - including tandems, and e-bikes.
They'll enter service on the #WestHighlandLine once we're able to safely complete staff training.

The finishing touches to the first carriage are currently being made at @BrodieEng's workshops in Kilmarnock.
As well as fitting the racks for bikes and heavy luggage, they've also installed WiFi, plug sockets, and upgraded the toilet.
