This evening I booked the outward leg of the train journey for my summer tour.
Online booking for Leeds-London with bikes painless and surprisingly cheap @ £13
Booking Eurostar - a bit of a faff. Have to check that there's bike spaces available on the desired train before purchasing tickets for the train and then ringing the luggage company to reserve bike spaces.
DB - can't online book the City Nightline Service with bikes so had to ring their call centre - I had all of the details to hand: dates, times, names (me and a pal) and credit card details and the process prceeded at a snails pace taking twenty five minutes at £0.08 per mnute on the phone. It isn't a one off. I had to endure a long procedure with them last year too.
Is this typical?
