Print that out and chance your luck I reckon. I wouldn’t count on getting any clarification.

I've been travelling on greater Anglia during strike days, the trains have been nearly empty and running bang on time, just fewer of them...
I don't know if Avanti is the same but the threat of strikes has kept passenger numbers very low , so there's a chance that it will be fine. Can you recce Euston station to gauge busyness before you travel?
-
why didn't you call them? always the easiest way
-
From Euston? On occasion I get Avanti from Manchester to Macc or vice-versa. I speak to someone at the ticket counter and ask to reserve a bike on the next service and they do it there and then. Go to the very front of the train and the conductor will let you into the bike/luggage area, you can the go into the carriage next to it for the journey.
Then hope he remembers where you're getting off.
-
To me that reads as, we don't actually know how bad the strike impacts will be so we can't guarantee that we can take your bike.
I doubt you'd get any better clarity from that speaking to anyone. Odds are that you would be fine unless you're going at a peak time.
-
If you're traveling with Avanti it probably means we'll be cancelling your train at the last minute so a bike reservation will be the least of your worries.

Stupid as I am, I am endeavouring to travel to Windermere on Avanti West Coast next week.
Having patiently waited for their reduced timetables to be published and bookable, I bought a ticket and used their online form to try and reserve a bike space.
Got this back in an email:
WTF does that mean?
