Which route?

Very much doubt it - big health and safety issue with the petrol and oil

no

Used to be years ago but no more

Bugger. Looks like the full 730 miles may be be on the cards then....

hire van?

I feel an epic coming on.....

Almost no trains have a seperate guards van, and due to the fuel, petrol and oil they will not allow you.

take the engine out and tank off and pretend it's a bicycle and have quite a big heavy suitcase ...............

(edit)*would it go in a bike bag and ditto as above

Guard's Carriage ? When did you last get on a train 😆

Ist Western 125s have bike & baggage sections on the SW- London route, I don't know about elsewhere.

Not allowed, petrol and oil on train as stated above is a big no, no. You get in the the carrige of fuel on vehicles laws which is very tricky(according to Network Rail).

Whereabouts? I have an empty van north and southbound this week and next week. We may be able to assist.

Thanks cbike, I've not bought it yet, pondering an epic road trip to Geneva in August and just didn't fancy the UK leg, so I wanted to use the train as far as Dover.

Euro tunnel vehicle carrying trains are all fitted with various alarms to detect a fire, or smouldering/smoke, they are also fitted with a sump to catch any leaking fuel.
