I'm doing Ldn - Paris via Newhaven/Dieppe soon and was quite uneasy about getting back to Calais on the train.
I've now checked the Hauts-France website and you can actually book a bike spot. I don't think this has filtered through to the main SNCF site so it was a bit random I came across it. The K16 direct trains go straight to Calais in 3hrs.
I guess this does open possiblities for more journeys past Paris with some certainty. I'll report back if this actually does work in a few weeks!
( This is in light of the Eurostar stopping taking assembled bikes obviously. Have heard good reports from the Ldn-Brussels-Amsterdam route. )
