Title: Booking cycle on train Bristol to Paddington Post by: theCake on September 15, 2022, 17:51:29 Took 30 mins to get two references for a bike booking, by telephone.
Original advance ticket from TheTrainLine. Is there a better way ? GWR site is confusing. Gives a reference, but also says unable to book. Then on phone they say have space.

Use your local ticket office to both purchase your Advance ticket and get your seat and cycle reservations!

Or to put it another way... a booked space almost guarantees it will be rammed full of luggage. :( This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
