    Thanks Flea72 - yes, i was opting for train, to make the bike easier, they will take it, but it's a longer journey and not cheap at this short notice.

    I can't seem to find out how much on the plane! All getting a bit frustrating! £15 courier would be great! Do you know who I could book that through? I could ask my post room at work, not sure they'd like doing a bike for me though, even if I pay! If I can organise a courier myself, that would be great.

    Oh, I'm starting out in London, going to Aberdeen.

    Thanks everyone, I'm going to investigate the courier method, combined with all your packing advise!
