New Era in Scottish Cycling - Falco Begins the Roll-out of Secure Cycle Parking for ScotRail Stations
OVERVIEW
The New Year has seen the start of ScotRail’s Cycle Parking Upgrade Works with the roll-out of the first tranche of cycle parking facilities across ScotRail's network of over 300 stations. Pictured here are two of the latest installations at Conon Bridge and Muir of Ord Stations incorporating the latest FalcoLevel-Premium+ two-tier cycle rack.
The scheme, which got underway this winter, involves the surveying of stations, proposing solutions and the manufacture, supply and installation of cycle parking systems to help implement ScotRail’s cycling strategy.
Two key products of the programme is the innovative FalcoLevel-Premium+ two-tier cycle rack and the spacious FalcoRail cycle canopy. The latest two-tier rack offers superior practicality compared to other cheaper models and is exceptionally user-friendly, quieter in operation and offers enhanced security. The FalcoRail cycle canopy was purposely designed to compliment the two-tier system and offers maximum coverage whilst promoting a open spacious and lightweight design and additional snow loading to cope with harsh Scottish Winters!
Falco has already carried out the design, manufacture, supply and installation of secure cycle parking facilities for Conon Bridge, Muir of Ord, Keith and Insch stations, with more than twenty further stations to receive secure cycle parking this spring. Upcoming stations include:
- Inverness
- Fort William
- Glasgow Queen Street
- Perth
- Dunkeld
- Elgin
- Huntly
- Kirkhill
- Lenzie
- Gourock
- Rosyth
- Newcraighall
- Markinch
- Glenrothes
- Cupar
- Barrhead
- Pitlochry
- Ladybank
Patrick Harvie MSP, Minister for Active Travel, announced a £2million cycling legacy fund to promote and enhance cycling infrastructure and services across Scotland’s Railway. As part of the legacy fund, a bespoke secure cycle hub will be installed at both Inverness and Fort William stations.
