Newsflash: Avanti West Coast were great on our trip up to Glasgow. Every other train operator in this shithole country could learn a thing or two. I seriously thought I was in Germany or Netherlands or something - they were helpful, the bikes carriage was marked, they went on, they came off no problem. Like, actually pleasant UK train + bike travel. I was amazed.
Yes, I had a good trip with them recently too. As long as they are all ready to take your bike (spaces reserved, train manager informed) then it is pretty smooth.
