FYI if you can't get a bike spot then turn up early, be lovely to the dispatchers and then the Guard and you should be able to get a spot.
The Highland Mainline only runs HST's so there are 3 bike spots per train. So if you are getting the direct 1200 service (My commuter, the Highland Chieftain :) ) then there is some risk you might not get a spot.
If you are swapping at Waverley, then you should get a bike spot quite easily as it will be a class 91 with enough room for a peloton in the Driving Van Trailer. Scotrail have always been alright about unbooked bikes in my experience, as long as it's not a busy service

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)
