Summary

This is a collection of good practices designed to improve the integration of cycling with long distance and international rail services. It is meant to inspire railway undertakings who plan to upgrade their services over the coming years. The intention is to provide an overview of leading practices from around Europe rather than a detailed design guide but there are links and references included in the text for anyone interested in finding out more information. As implied by the title, a distinction has been made between long distance/ international rail services and regional or local services, although many of the points highlighted in this document are applicable for all rail services.
