Did you pre-book your bikes on the various trains? That was the problem we had getting back from Inverness to Edinburgh - no bikes without reservations, and no reservations available.
Brommers-
Yeah, we pre-booked all of them. Didn't help with some shitball game on when the trains were full and we had to go get on another going via Edinburgh but then they filled that up with football cunts and redirected it to Glasgow so it kinda worked out.
I guess it depends when you go - I have heard it's tricky in summer but we were basically out of season and in summer I'd probably have just ridden back given the much longer days. We couldn't get on one Inverness train (18:30) so just booked an earlier one that had slots (15:30). We still made it with plenty of time (I'm sure there's a pic on here now with me on aerobars heading south to Lairg)

I recall that bit of Catch 22. You have to phone Scotrail or whatever they might be called as train booking sites don't offer the facility to book bikes from the far north.
That is whT I did anyway when I was ret6from my LEJoG many years ago.
