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:

Thank you for contacting Avanti West Coast to request a bike reservation on one of our services.

Due to strike disruption, reduced timetables and suspending ticket sales, we are unable to make bike reservations until 11/09/2022, as these will most likely not be honoured. I apologise for the inconvenience caused. Please speak to our station or onboard teams for further assistance on your day of travel.

WTF does that mean?

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.
