normally recommended when you're getting on an intercity train with a bike to speak to the platform staff before the train arrives, to ask them where you need to be. Being pro-active doesn't hurt here.

Agreed.

If an FGW HST, look at the CIS display before arrival to see what end First Class is at. The bike shed is the opposite end of the train, at the end of the platform (not a few yards from the middle).
