It’s a smaller regional SW train, so no need to book. But it’s the usual “there is only x space so the train guard reserves the right to blar blar”. Ie you’ll be fine so long as you’re not travelling peak time during the Poole regatta.
Generally speaking, in the UK it’s the formal mainline long distance trains you need to book, smaller regional commuter trains are casual with the usual disclaimer.

South Western seem to say bike booking not compulsory but also that it is compulsory.
Want to get 2 people and 2 bikes to/from Poole this weekend (Sun/Mon). Anyone know what hoops we need to jump through to actually book something? Or can we ignore their nonsense?
