Usually fine. I believe they have the power to change your train foc if there are no bike spots. I usually book the bike spot, then the train.
Make sure you print your reservation if travelling from Euston, the guy at the gate tried to make me go back and print mine with only 5 mins to departure. No such problem at other stations.

print your reservation
It's 2019. Did you not have it on a phone?

Fell fowl of this before on the 1st train of the day north, office closed till 6.30am and then there is an instant huge que.
I tried, then saw that I had only a few minutes left and the bike compartment is at the far end of train, so just rode past him like a bellend. Have a train key so just let myself on (often have to let myself on and off as the guard/ticket person /train manager doesn't know or can't open the door due to time and place constraints.
If you get really stuck an 8mm Allen key will just about turn it. You turn and hold the position for around 5 seconds

Anyone got any experience with lner? Taking king x to Inverness next week. Couldn’t see a bike option anywhere while booking my ticket so just went ahead and booked. Then see afterwards that you need to call before booking for a bike space.
I need to call during office hours but has anyone any experience of making such an amendment? Obvs if all bike spaces are already booked I’m outta luck.
Booked thru trainline not lner site as it kept crashing(no bike option on there either)
