To make sure you get a space for your bike on a train, call 0845 6007245 the night before. I haven't tried this yet, but assume that this booking is forwarded to the train in question.
My name is John Swindells and I'm a keen recreational cyclist with a preference for long one-day rides. I've also previously dabbled in time trialling and cyclo-cross. See more of what I get up to on Strava!
