A mate and I traveled back back from Brussels last night. I used a chain/crank/cog covering bag, and the wheels off (bungeed to the frame). He did similar.
We did this both ways and got quite a lot of grief at the ticket pass point and customs. I had studied the ticket and the info on the website and I was under the impression that if you can carry it your basically ok. Staff on both sides let us through but a crazy french lady made my mate put a bin-bag 'over' his bike so it was technically in a bag. Pretty pointless and annoying. As soon as we got to the train there was plenty of room for bikes.
Because we were riding from Brussels I didn't want to carry a large bike bag (it would have doubled my luggage). But I'd recommend a proper bike bag unless your paying the 25 euro to wheel it on.
