something I discovered about GWR this week is - select a journey, chose the cheap advance ticket, click "reserve bicycle", it says "there are no spaces on this train please choose a different train". Go back, select the same journey, chose the standard off-peak "walk-up" fare (twice the price in my case), click "reserve bicycle", it says "no problem that's booked for you". conspiracy or cock-up? you decide!
EDIT: it may be possible to book the cheap advance ticket & then add a bike space later via a different channel, seems like a risk, but maybe worth a go...

Just trying to plan a mini tour to the south coast with a train to get home at the end of day 2. Massive pain in the arse to work out what's needed as the national rail app says that no bike reservation is required, but the GWR site says that you need to have one. It won't let me add one as there's apparently no bike spaces remaining, so that's that plan buggered.
