Sustrans the charity making it easier for people to walk and cycle has been appointed by The Cycle Rail Working Group to manage the annual Cycle Rail Awards which recognises and rewards projects that encourage people to access rail travel by bicycle.

The Cycle Rail Awards have been running for more than a decade during which time more than 80,000 high quality and secure cycle parking spaces have been created at stations across the rail network.

Phillip Darnton Chair of the Cycle Rail Working Group said:

“Sustrans are dedicated to connecting people and places, creating liveable neighbourhoods, transforming the school run and delivering a happier, healthier commute. As such they are the perfect partner to help promote development of Cycle Rail integrated travel through the Cycle Rail Awards.

We are delighted to have them on-board”.
