In my experiance most "rail replacement bus" services are run with coaches that have plenty of luggage space underneath.

Even if run using a conventional bus I doubt at 4am it would be full and standing so plenty of room for luggage! (I expect it to run using a coach though)

TPE say themselves:

Rail Replacement services

The location of replacement coach pick up points are shown on the Onward Travel Information poster displayed at most stations or online here.
Where rail replacement coaches are in operation, heavy luggage, bicycles, prams etc and animals (other than registered assistance dogs) cannot be conveyed.
If you think you may have difficulty boarding our replacement coach services please contact our assisted travel team on 0800 107 2149.

However this is mostly a backside-covering exercise, as I have been involved in many RRB operations (not for TPE, mind) where they take bicycles whilst saying they will not and luggage has never been an issue!
