Has anyone used the coach transfer offered by the organisers of Manchester-Blackpool before?

We're tempted to take their bus back to Manchester afterwards, but a bit concerned that they advise you to use some pipe lagging to protect the bike in the truck it travels in alongside the coach.

I'm concerned because (i) the bits of the bike that I worry about are not pipe shaped and (ii) I don't want to carry pipe lagging in my pockets.

What's the setup? Will they destroy my bike?
