Transfer bike via train

I've to transfer a bike from my hometown to Bangalore. Ive heard that trains are not very safe for this. They don't handle the items with care and chances of damage are very high. Is it true ? I see 4 categories for this on the railway website: rajdhani , premier, standard, luggage. If I choose the most costly one will that make any difference ???

I think the mode & safety of the vehicle is the same, but time may differ. But there is no change in safety.

Don’t send, the locals at SMVT/SMVB bangalore are a bunch of A holes and will damage your bike. The only way to get it safely delivered is by reqching before the train arrives and bribe 500-1000 to the local guys !!!

Recommendation for Movers and Packers?

I have managed to get a job in Bangalore and need to move from my current rental in Gurgaon. I have shifted my items many times through the last years and have never had a fully positive experience - 1. I have always got my items damaged post the transit. 2. I have always had to pay way more to the loading and unloading folks. Can anyone relate to this? Can anyone recommend a good Movers and Packers who are literally no-frills?
