Decided to stay over in London last night and crash on a friend's floor. National Express wanted nearly £25 for the new ticket (cos I didn't get my connection I'd paid for last night), so went for the train instead. Railcard is still valid, so open return - £30.
Anyway, I dump the folding bike in the bike carriage as normal, as it's a bit busy even for a late-lunchtime train. At Swindon the train guy says to me that I'm more than welcome to take it into the regular passenger carriage and put it on the luggage racks, if I want to. He was really sincere about it (which is normal for Great Western / Swindon Station staff) but it was nice he said it, instead of picking a fight (like some operators). I said it's no problem, but he repeated himself saying, just in case I want to next time.
