As many will know European Bike Express, under a new company, stopped
doing its run to Venice last year. When I spoke to Bolero (who actually
did the Bike Express run) in about March they said that they would still
transport bikes to Venice on their scheduled service but there would be no
drop off points.

I have just made an attempt to book a trip with Bolero for 2008 to Venice
but received this reply

Hello

Thank you for emailing.

Unfortunately for 2008, we are not taking a trailer and we therefore
cannot transport cyclists.

I am sorry we cannot help you.

Kind Regards

think

Just provisionally booked a seat out on the Mediterranean and a seat back on
the Atlantic. They said I got the last seat on one and they are not running
the Wednesday Atlantic departures. Hope they have trailers!

Bolero and European Bike Express are now two seperate companies.

The company behind EBE used to be the sub-contractor who provided the coach
and trailer to Bolero Holidays and EBE was sold this or last year to the
sub-contractor. I don't think that you'l have a problem with the trailer
Ken - it's central to the EBE operation!

FWIW - I've been led to believe that the lowest occupancies occur during
school holidays. Certainly this year there was plenty of space on the coach
in both directions when I used the service in August.
