A4 cont
2/
The second train wasn't as bad as we'd only trapped 4 people at the end of the train, and we had plenty of time to rearrange to let them out.
Bear in mind that we'd deliberately timed our trains to be out of peak. Totally unfeasible if the trains were busy.
Also, these were GOOD trains, no steps to the platform, clearly signed bike carriage, straps to hold the bikes (not that they worked well).

@ascentale@sfba.social @Kleen@sfba.social @bikenite@fedigroups.social #bikeNite A4 cont 3/ Day 3 featured ferries. Not normal ferries, foot ferries. The first one we had to push the bikes up a plank attached to the side of the boat before it could be manhandled over the side. The second one involved pushing the bikes over 100m of loose shingle (remarkably hard to do with a loaded bike) before doing the same again with a slightly higher tech plank. I'll try to find some photos.
