Eurostar bike policy update: According to a PR guy quoted on the road.cc report (in an update) the Evoc and Scicon bags are OK for the allowed space (though someone should tell him they exceed the published allowed dimensions). The bike boxes they will supply from November are custom made and padded, not just cardboard. Internal dimensions 126 x 79 x 25 cm. In all other aspects operation will be as the current setup- you'll go to Euro Dispatch,same fee as now, but the bike gets dismantled and goes in the box, and you'll of course have to reassemble at the other end. This will increase the bike capacity, not reduce it, which is nice...
That's good news if you want to travel with a road bike. But getting a proper touring bike equipped with mudguards, racks and all the rest of it into a bike box is probably quite a faff.
