Sorry to dredge, but I need some advice!
I'm hoping to book myself + my bike on the train from Lyon to Paris, and then Eurostar from Paris to London.. Eurostar bike booking (although a bit pricey) seems relatively straightforward, but the Lyon>Paris leg is causing me a lot of trouble.. When I add my bike to the booking, it seems to only allow me to travel on a TER train that takes 5hrs (rather than the TGV routes that only take 2hrs), which means I'm v limited in which Eurostar I can book on the other end..
So basically - I'm wondering how strict they are with 'carry on' bikes? It says they have to be in a 'special cover'. I'll have no way of bringing a bike bag with me, so if I were to partly dismantle it and wrap it in a tarp, what's the likelihood of me getting on the regular train with my bike as luggage?
Any insight greatly appreciated!
