Chester will be an Avanti Voyager (if it's a direct train). Reasonably large hanging rack at the front of the train.
Bristol will be a GWR IEP. Horrible hanging rack in a too small cupboard somewhere hidden in the middle of the train and likely full of luggage unless you're first on board.
I think bikes are still be carried the same as ever post Covid.

If you don’t mind taking the slow route then you can get back from Bristol to Waterloo using South Western Railway. You’ll have to change at Salisbury, but SWR trains are more bike friendly and between Bristol and Salisbury it will be a local GWR train with likely fewer restrictions on bikes

GWR fast trains have shit bike spaces since the crappy train redesign a few years ago
to fight this put your bike in the disabled spaces (obviously move out of the way if someone with a disability needs the space)
there are 2x in coach A, quiet coach, you could get at least 3 bikes in each

Anyone have any recent train experiences with bikes? Am looking at a Wales trip in late sept and wondering how easy it will be to get to Chester and Bristol to start and return with a bike...
