Designated carriages for bikes and large sporting equipment are to be introduced on one of Scotlands most scenic routes, a first for the UK rail industry.

As part of the pilot, ScotRail is transforming five Class 153 trains to carry up to 20 bikes to enhance existing services on the West Highland Line, providing custom designed racks to accommodate bikes, sporting equipment and large items of luggage as well as more seats for customers.
