You can do all that on an Electrostar.


Where do I find one of these mythical beasts?


London Victoria Station.

There are lots there.

Indeed. Space inside a train is not infinite. But it is a bit galling
to be told you cannot take a bike because there are already two on
board and over half the seats are empty (or the train is so choc-a-bloc
with peoples suitcases)


It is annoying when people apply regulations that are designed for worst case
loading for a lightly loaded train, but they can't really spend a lot of time
second guessing how many people are going to get on down the line.
