Charges do vary, on most of the "commuter" networks (principally in London and the South East) there is no charge.
The "Intercity" operators, companies like GNER, Virgin, First GreatWestern etc do levy a small charge and bikes have to be reserved in advance on a first come-first served basis.Likewise some of the regional operators also require reservations.
If you turn up with your bike and attempt to board a train which requires a bike reservation and you don't have one, you may well not be allowed to travel.

Charges vary between train operators. Most don't charge, but there are restrictions on how many bicycles can be carried on trains. Some local operators, particularly in the London area, don't carry bicycles in peak periods, whilst long distance operators, such as Virgin CrossCountry, will not accept bicycles unless you have reserved a space in advance.
