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. 20180520 133033.jpg 20180520 133041.jpg

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.
