Haven’t used a train in over ten years but testing out the Brompton G Line on a train was surprisingly easy. Initially worried about the size and weight compared to the regular C, P and T line however wheeling it around was extremely easy and convenient.

Hi, did you try and put it in a luggage rack?
Yes of course, but it isn't convenient
I still find it an eyesore that the handle stem sticks out that much when folded. Ah well, progress.
Can it still fit in a over head bin on a plane?
How does it look on the tube or train during peak time
Able to share where u purchased from and the price
Yes you can but it’s a lot more hard work with weight and size on the train
than my normal Brompton but it was designed for a slightly different purpose however I wouldn’t change my G line I love it
Do you have 8 or 4 speed
Does the regular Brompton tool kit kit goodly in a Gline? Thanks!
Oh yes, as with any other bike, at least in Denmark (we have special waggons for it, with room for bikes), but it isn't very Practical. The Ordinary Brompton is intended for transport as folded.
I'm torn up between a new G line and keeping my current gravel capable 20" fnhon storm, much lighter at 11 kgs and a tad more capable ( with 11-46s + 53/39t and 2" schwalbes) but worse when folded than the G line
