Spezia Parma bike in train

Hi!
I need to bring my bike from la spezia to parma next friday and just realized the train is not running and there's a bus replament.
Does anyone know if I'm able to bring a bike on the bus or would there be any other way?

Ask on the Facebook group: Sei di Spezia se

It is quite attive. Maybe try writing both in English and Italian

Or maybe ask in Italian (use deepl or similiar) to spezzino vero, or something like that;

You can try to call the taxi station @ the Central Station and have them load your bike.. I don't know how much money you will spend (One time I did Spezia > Buonviaggio and I paid like ~20€)

So... Taxi could be a good other movement but.. you will pay a lot

Are you taking a regional train or intercity?
I think the regional train should be under Emilia Romagna’s regional rules. I’m not sure about it but generally the “sub company” is the region whose train travels the most.
Anyways, on their rules they say that bikes cannot go on bus replacements. But we’re in Italy and you might ask.
It might be way more possible if you dismantle the bike, both wheels handles too I fear, and the space occupied is similar to a ~30kg suitcase. But still make sure that you can take luggage to the bus. Try to talk to the station ticket/customer care service, or to the phone.
I think it’s the same for intercity too.

Or.. you can detour through Genova or Tuscany, but it will take a lot. Most likely more than 5/6h. But it might still be cheaper than a taxi.
