Romney Hythe and Dymchurch

Post by carlislemike »

As a matter of interest; to me at least, does the RH&D have a cycle policy? Thanks for any info. Mike

I think you'd be hard pressed to squeeze one on there - though riding along the coast is nice and easy!

There's a luggage coach on (IIRC) every train that takes pushchairs, wheelchairs etc. Pretty sure you could fit a bike in there but I'd give the railway a ring before travelling.

If you are tall you might find the carriages are too squat for the bike. IIRC as a six footer you sit on quite a low seat and your head nearly touches the roof.
Don't let that put you off going though. The area is great to ride (although the wind can be a drag) and the steam engines are masterpieces!
The older I get the more I’m inclined to act my shoe size, not my age.

Thanks for all that. It was for an elderly friend who was worried about making it in face of a stiff breeze.

From their website

"We are able to take a few bicycles on the train for a flat rate of £2 per bike in addition to your travel ticket."

Leaving the train at Hythe for the ride back to Dungeness. This is about half of the group.
