Hi guys

Planning a trip to the alps for later in the year. The plan is to travel via Eurostar then interchanges in France. Question is, I have a bike box. What is the procedure for bike on trains? How do I book etc?

Many thanks

    Isn't a bike box just a large suitcase i.e. no one will care that there's a bike inside?

    You could check the measurements. Alan Bike Box fits into Eurostar luggage racks with 1 cm to spare on both sides. Just about goes through the goods x-ray machine, too. No idea about local trains.
