Chiltern seems a lot more friendly than virgin. They have no bike areas so you have to place your bike carefully against the opposite side doors which can look clumsy and obstructive but I have never had a problem. No staff including ticket people seemed to care that there was a massive bike against the door.
Chiltern trains always seem less jam packed than virgin too.Always manage to find a seat close to the bike to monitor it unlike virgin.
