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.

The stunning livery was created by Skye-based artist, Peter McDermott and depicts landmarks from the journey including Kilchurn Castle, Ben Lomond, Glenfinnan Viaduct, and the Cullins.
In addition to the 20 bike spaces, each Active Travel Carriage has 24 seats.
As they'll run attached to our existing #WestHighlandTrains, every service they operate will have a minimum of 26 bike spaces and 187 seats.

We heard you like trains, so we put a train on your train!
