Another ploy which you can try is to break your journey into stages so for birmingham new street to edinburgh then edinburgh to georgemas junction I found a combined price of £41.50.

The "12 weeks" is a little misleading - it's not cast in stone - it's "about 12 weeks" ... Scotrail seems further behind than the other train cos.

Patience!

Yebbut - have you got PHYSICAL TICKETS for the bikes ... you can't just take your bike on the long-distance (or Inverness Wick) trains with any sort of certainty without ... you may get the bike on at the station you board at but if someone has a bike ticket from a station further on you will chucked off the train.

You have been warned!

Folders

If you consider taking a folder or separable bike, you will be able to take it on the train like luggage, and no booking!
I did LEJOG 18 months ago on a Moulton, and on the way down to Penzance, a train porter not only helped me on with the bike, but also put it up on the luggage rack for me. Confirmation it counts as luggage;0)
