Was considering doing it on an existing road bike with a friend , neither of us have touring experience hence the reasonining to split the travel between train and bike . I did suspect that there would be problems with bikes on trains . Suppose I could try and pick and choose routes which are more bike friendly ?

In fairness, it is possible to do, it's just more awkward than one would like it to be. If you are going with the road bike then I'd bring a soft bike bag where you can just take the wheels off and drop the saddle, then pretty much any train will be open to you...

Yeah a soft bike bag seems like a good call, will be taking the train every few days I'd Imagine and will try to avoid having to constantly Hop on and off. Planning on packing as lightly as possible
