The UK end always want my Brompton bagged. I normally unfold whilst inthe waiting area and whell to the carriage (sometime they are miles away and I can't see the point of carrying when you can wheel. Coming back (from Brussels or Paris) they are not that botherede about puttingthe bike through the e-ray (especially Brussels where a security guard stopped me from folding it and just wheeled it through.
Off to Perpignan London to Paris TGv to Perpigan going out and Perpignan to Lille and then London coming back. Brompton going to - just short of £120.
BTW From Paris you can get a non TGV to Boulogne and Calais and ferry back to the UK - almost the longest part of that journey is Dover to London (unless you fancy riding) unless you use the fast trains (which apparently take bikes). A few years ago a few of us trained to Newhaven, ferry to Dieppe, rode to Paris to catch the final stage of le Tour and back via Boulogne/Dover etc. good trip.
