== Belgium ==
Belgian trains in theory have bike compartments.

[[File:20180521 084902.jpg|800px]]

Since some of the trains are very long and the conductors sometimes need to have to open up the compartments you might still end up transporting your bike in a different way.

[[File:20180520_133041.jpg|400px]]

== Eurostar ==
see https://www.eurostar.com/rw-en/travel-info/travel-planning/luggage/bikes you need to make a reservation for your bikes with Eurodispatch and then bring your bikes to the luggage counter and pick them up
at the other end of your connection. E.g. going from Brussels to London you bring your bikes to the counter at Brussels Midi (see pictures) below and pick them up at London St. Pancras International.

== Great Britain ==
Often Bike reservations are mandatory. The reservation and the transport of bikes is free. You can check the bicycle reservation policy on the [https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ national rail website] or with the national rail app on your smartphone.
On some popular routes like the one to Maillaig you might want to make reservation many weeks in advance. In the travelling season bike reservations in scotland are often booked out.

Some german regional trains have bike compartments with plenty of space for bikes. No reservation is required. On some routes that are favored by bicyclist the spaces might be used up in summer especially on weekends.
