Avanti use the old Virgin trains so it's a section in the guard's van just behind the driver. You just sling them in there from what I remember, there might be some straps to keep them secure but not really needed.
The train is probably going up to Glasgow so make sure the guard knows where you're getting off and be prepared to stand there blocking the carriage door if they forget.
Northern are just shitty little trains. They have a bike space which is just a bit of empty vestibule but they're not normally particularly strict.

I'm going to Windermere by train on Avanti West Coast (and Northern), the week after next.
I've booked my bike reservation but am wondering what kind of storage they have.
Does anyone know if it is upright hangers like on GWR or something a bit easier?
If it's the former, I think I'll take a spare pedal strap to make a hanging loop - it was a bit of a faff last time on GWR, due to the depth of rims and tyre size on my gravéfauxdaxventurecyclebike.
