Great Western Railways - them of the useless bike hanging cupboards.
I'm trying to book a train out to Winchester for a SDW end-to-end-in-a-day ride. There are definitely two of us, and potentially two more.
Frustratingly all two of the bike spaces on the GWR trains out to Winchester are reserved on all of the trains I've tried. Gone through all of the morning options to no avail. Likewise reversing the journey (i.e. to ride Eastbourne - Winchester and then train back to Ldn in the eve) bears no fruit.
Question: how lenient are the GWR staff when it comes to simply bringing your bike onto the train without a reservation? Will cross post into the "bikes on trains" thread
