If I were in your situation I'd be tempted to get a folder. PBH would not be an issue because they have very long seat posts. Some models are equipped with more upright bars such as you're used to using. They come with a variety of different types of gearing and ranges. And, of course, they are step-though by definition. That could be your travel bike and you'd be able to get around any issues that some trains have with carry-on bikes.
