First time in maybe 10years that I'm about to take a bike on the train (it was a fucking shit-show last time, guard refused to let us on despite a reservation) so I'm understandably worried.

Paddington to Taunton, lunchtime train, very long MTB - any tips? Also, it would be so helpful if I could take it on the Lizzy Line from Woolwich (I know you're technically not allowed) - has anyone done this? Take a wheel off and hope no-one says anything? Arguably, it's of a similar footprint to tourists pulling on their oversized suitcases, and they're allowed

I think you can? Text here is confusing but look at the map and key https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/cycling/cycles-on-public-transport

Huh. D'you know, I searched and searched for info on whether you could, and all I found was a very old document that said "no bikes on sections that go underground"

That seems to suggest that I should be fine then, thank you for finding it!
