The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if her Department will make an assessment of the potential merits of introducing lockable bike storage at rural (a) bus and (b) rail stations.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Department has no plans to carry out an assessment on the potential merits of lockable cycle storage in rural travel hubs. Funding for cycle storage has been made available from a range of local transport funds, including the Active Travel Fund and the Cycle Rail Fund.

In addition, Active Travel England also provides training on infrastructure design guidance and is developing specific guidance for good practice application in rural areas.
