The new Class 800’s, which I believe are what are in the photos (although they talk about Cross Country who have have 220 voyagers which take 3 bikes and are shit) which have provision for 4 bikes, which I’ve used 3 times now with no issues
Previously you could book 3 on a HST class 43 (although 17 is the record held by BCC 😂 ) and 4 on a class 91, even though you could get a shitload in the rear car.
So it’s an improvement in official numbers terms, but after that, yes, there is no excess space.
The same applies to baggage, sadly

Yep, vertical narrow storage for 1.25 bikes on a train is a useless pile of shit. Still, it "is" "cycle provision" I suppose. If only it was way better, with a much larger capacity.
