NB Cycle spaces are not available on ticket machines and our local station does not in any case have one (like most local stations in Cornwall).
The ticket machines will print the cycle reservations you've ordered online. The easiest way for you would be to use the GWR phone app which holds tickets electronically or print the ticket from a computer when you make the reservation.

I was shocked to arrive at a Brit b&b place near Fleurance on Bastile Day and discover our hosts werent going to go into town and enjoy joining in the celebrations? We did. The next morning then having to accompany them to the Bricolage to translate! Lived in France for years yet totally isolated in a little Brit bubble. Wine boxes abounded... We often stayed at various friends French bolt holes and observed the same sort of behaviour. Sorry, cant feel sympathy for such folk.

Your stereotype, my stereotype...but in my experience mine is nearer the norm, reinforced by various TV documentries and comedys which parody the many booze swilling sunshine seeking Brits in France and Spain who hardly engage with local culture at all.

Yet you have absolutely no idea what level of experience I have. Did you read what you write? "but in my experience mine is nearer the norm". How can you "know" the norm based on your own experience? Oh dear.

El Bingo, El Fish & Chips, HP Sauce via the internet, they really join in with that continental experience. More than enough of them to but flesh on the so-called stereotype portrayal.
We never say all, but certainly far too many.
