Yes, you can. You need to buy a luggage ticket for the bike. It travels in the dedicated luggage van at the front or back of the train. It is safe, just arrive 45 minutes early.

Do I need to box it or is it fine as is?

Ideally box it or wrap it with cardboard. The luggage van gets very full and it helps avoid damage.

I just used duct tape and bubble wrap. Worked like a charm.
