If I couldn't book, I'd look whether I could pack the bike to do it faster and cheaper on National Express or Megabus. www.atob.org.uk used to have good info on this but it's been intermittent for me recently.
I think you need to check the bike accommodation when booking.
Increasingly, it amounts to front wheel hooks with the bike hanging vertically.
Not much good with a loaded tourer, particularly as you always have to load bikes on the hurry up so there's little time to remove panniers, bottles and the like.
Lner have a proper guards van for the bikes. You can book the bike at the station but you won't get the cheapest price that way and you nay need to wait for a train that has free bike spaces.
