While I like that approach, I'm not buying another bike just because train companies attitudes to bikes are total shit.
8hrs on trains would be a pretty nice journey, really. Just Brexitstar bike policy ruins it.

I don't need another bike. I just need to either take the forks out, or even just rotate them might be enough. I need to get the length to 85cm, but apparently they're not too strict. Then put it in a bag.
Forks out will definitely do it. I'd probably have to unbolt the brake caliper, but that doesn't look like a big deal. Rotated will get to about 95cm which might be enough, and wouldn't need to take the caliper off.

That looks far too complicated, you can go gare de l'est - kaiserslautern - Neustadt an der Weinstrasse
Or via Karlsruhe or Mannheim (no need to go as far as Frankfurt and then come back on an RB)

It's a bit further than I thought.
In that case what I would do is get my rinko bag plans finalised so I can take my bike as carry-on luggage on Eurostar and every other train.
