it is as clear as mud.
I want to take a bicycle from west London to Kings Cross on the
Piccadilly line.
No bicycles allowed on tube sections of the Underground. Full stop.
Basically, there is never a charge for bikes on the Underground -
they're only ever permitted or not. So when they say, "You can take an
unfolded bicycle with you free of charge on certain sections of the
London Underground," they *actually* mean, "you can take an unfolded
bicycle with you, free of charge, on certain sections...".
The list is of the permitted sections; anywhere else is not permitted,
because it is either too busy or is a deep-level tube.
To get from west London to King's Cross taking your bike, you'll have
to change at Hammersmith and take the Hammersmith & City line (or
catch a District from Barons Court and change cross-platform to a
clockwise Circle at Gloucester Road).
or cross-platform at Earl's Court and Edgware Road.
