Can't you just take an earlier train?
I find especially on a Friday even if it's during the "bikes allowed" time, it's pretty difficult in late afternoon as so many people leave work early. Not familiar with that line, but I'd be surprised if it's possible unless you want to dismantle and bag up your bike. -
I'd be unconfident about getting through a mainline terminus at that time. The staff will be on full alert and used to turning people away.

Bit late but yes - take both wheels off and try and make it look like a folding bike, and keep it in the vestibule.. Convinced a guard that my Vigorelli was a folding bike.
Peak trains are also less busy on a Friday.

Anyone tried to take a bike on SWT service from/to Waterloo during the "no bike" times? Because of ferry times I'd have to take the train at 17:30 on a Friday from Waterloo to Portsmouth and they say on the website "no bike on train leaving Waterloo between 16:45 (I think) and 19:00".
