As it happens this morning I was waiting on the platform at a Transport for Wales station and could see across to my parked bike.
I saw two staff members walk up to it, look it over and then open and look through the (empty) pannier bag on the side.
Now security’s important and I have no problem with this. There was two of them and they seemed to be following a process not just nosing around but it did make me think:
There are no signs or similar saying cycles may be searched (I’ll scout more later in case I missed something). I sometimes lock my bags - what would they have done in that situation?
Also I noted that it was TfW staff, not the police searching.
Any further info would be welcome, I couldn’t see anything online. Out of interest rather than anything else!
Thanks.
