Written question asked by David Drew (Labour) on Tuesday, 14 May 2019, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 20 May 2019 (named day). It was answered by Andrew Jones (Conservative) on Monday, 20 May 2019 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Cross Country Line: Bicycles

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has to increase the (a) level of storage and (b) access to storage for bikes on trains at all stops on the route between Birmingham and Bristol.

Answer

The Department encourages the train operators and Network Rail to continue to increase provision for bike storage at stations where there is demand to do so. Provision for carriage for bikes on trains is a matter for the train operators to balance against the other demands on space - for example for passenger seating, luggage and universally accessible facilities.
