Now Virgin Trains Say that you have to have reservation for your bike to travel on there trains but what happens if you cannot get a reservation and you don't know until the time closer to the trains arrival or departure time at the Station that you need to take your bike with you.

Can you Travel Via another route ie..From Warrington Bank Quay to Chester then to Crewe even if the ticket say route Direct as effectively you are still going on a route that is Direct as there is nothing to say that you cannot change or that a Train cannot run to Crewe Via Chester.

Or could you get off at Runcorn East and cycle over to Runcorn Main_Line Line Station and use the London Midland Service.

If you look at buying a Ticket form Runcorn East to Crewe the rout e also says Direct but the Journey Planner says Change at Warrington Bank Quay.

Is it the Paltform Satff or the Guards Discretion as to weather or not yo can take you bike on without a reservation ?
