Has anyone taken a bike on a rail replacement service before?
I'm travelling down to London this sunday to pick up a bike I won on ebay and there's no trains running between Chelmsford and Liverpool st. I need to get the bike from Plaistow to colchester and was planning to chuck it on the train but Crossrail works have thrown a spanner in. The Abelio Anglia website says no bikes allowed on a replacement bus service but I'm wondering if I might get away with it if I ask nicely.
The only other thing I could think of is getting a national express coach but they told me the bike must be dismantled and in a bike bag, which I don't have. Due to several conspiring circumstances, Sunday is the only day it's possible for me to pick it up.
