I found moving it around in buildings (HP Velotechnik Speedmachine) quite a lot more cumbersome than my regular trekking bicycle. Fitting it through doors/elevators (especially with panniers) but I guess that is what you are eluding to, wheeling it upright and all that.

Did you ever bring it on a train in the UK?

Obviously it's a little longer than an upright (possibly helps that I'm fairly short), so the threshold for how tight a corner is before I have to put it vertical is a little lower than it would be for an upright. But I was mostly thinking of cases where you'd have to do the same either way - my building's lift is too small to fit any kind of bike without putting it vertical on its rear wheel.

And yeah I take it on UK trains fairly often.
