Bare in mind Southern also runs fast train to Brighton, I think there is only 1 stop in between. I always opt for that. Less stops = less chance of someone doing a runner with my bike. Locked it might be, but if I am fast asleep than anything can happen.
I think the difference between trains for these compaines is that the bike area is the wheelachair bit plus a bit of the narrow corridor outisde the loo within no seats, whereas FCC's bike areas have seats that you can pull down. I have had people making nasty comments of my bike taking up their seats when I got onto the train many stops before them.
