I think it was a pendolino from Carlisle to Euston that I was on. They were very cool about helping me get the bike on (so they fucking should for £110) but they most certainly were checking bike bookings and I'd not risk trying to get on one without a booking for the bike. 99% chance you'll get the bloke who wants to ruin your day.
Long distance routes that the Pendolinos are on often have people checking tickets before getting on the train.
