Well we all made it on! We were travelling on a local train which seemed to have 6 bike hooks in every carriage. Bikes are free, but you can't book beforehand, you just turn up and hope for space. As Arcachon is such a great place to visit for the weekend with your bike - loads of bike paths all around the basin - I don't know if this is typical or not. By email I was told that the local trains only take 4 bikes and wouldn't take a trailer, but this is clearly not the case on this route. During the summer there is a group offer of up to 5 people to Bordeaux for 30€ - a great price for a family of 5 on a train.
The whole experience was a very positive one!
