    ELR Have worked on they're brake coaches as well, put in seating for people accompanying wheel chair users. The idea of a van is quite appealing, as when you maybe have 2/3 or even 4 wheelchair users on one train, you havent the room for bicycles! Seen alot of CCT's at various railways littering sidings, what better use than the NNR's example!

    Here's how the big railway could do it in 1955, with a CTC charter from Watford to Rugby:

    Part 1

    Part 2

    The film also features rare interior views of a Cafeteria Car with very uncomfortable looking seating. How different the cyclists look compared to today's 'Wiggo Wanabees'!

    Brilliant video Dave, thanks for sharing. Those cycle vans are exactly what I was talking about - I just didn't know they already existed.

    Not sure I like people who have to cycle in order to "rediscover their common humanity" though...
