Bikes and rail go together

摘要

Around ￡30m of investment in cycle parking at rail stations is transforming the way passengers access the railway, reports Conrad Haigh. Cycle-rail is the largest single generator of new cycle journeys across the UK, and it is a trend that is continuing to grow. The number of cycle rail journeys has jumped from 25.2m in 2008 to 39.1m in 2012. And since 2008 the number of cycle parking spaces on the UK rail network has more than doubled from 23,441 to 53,333 and by the end of 2015 is set to increase further to 68,996 spaces.
