can you take boards on trains in the uk

I think you can, better phone before you turn up though !!

yeap aslong as its not a long board i take my 6ft4 and 6ft on the train all the time

...avoid rush hour at all costs.

so a 6'6'' would be ok

yep it will be fine

Depends on the bus company, and also the individual driver's discretion. So you might get lucky, you might not.

Ive taken a surfboard on a bus in london, in rush hour. Wasnt a lot of fun, but at least the bus driver took me where I wanted to go (the airport).

thanks the buses here are always empty sure the drivers wont mind cheers

i always take my board on the buses and trains, might be different in the city, but i know that i'm able to in wales

Aye, if it's a shortboard you can almost always blag it. Just tell 'em that the board will fit anywhere you can and then just plonk it in front of where you're sitting.
