What are my chances of getting a bike (non-folding) on the train at Highbridge and getting of at Weston in the mornings (approx 08.00) and evenings (approx 16.30).  the 'restrictions' seem to be from weston on to bristol but how hevily loaded are the trains?

Getting on at Highbridge? probably plenty of room as the wheels will have been nicked before you get on the train  Cheesy

No. Get on at Bridgwater. The whole bike will have been nicked.

I'm off to Bridgwater, I've got a bike to SCRAP, save me the bother of a special to the Scrapyard.

So If I go Bridgwater my bike will become SEP.
