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".

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.

Aha, nice one on the vigorelli! Thanks, in the end I took a different ferry and thus a different train. 6:30am was proper empty!
