The Cycle Rail Awards is an annual event that recognises how Cycle Rail integration has become a great rail industry success story. Since 2012, there has been a step change in the quantity and quality of cycle parking at stations across the UK rail network. Prior to the pandemic, around 1 million rail journeys a week were being made involving a bike, showing the increasing demand for smarter, healthier, greener travel options
The rail industry is working hard to get more people to access the network by bike, installing new high quality, secure cycle parking at most stations and working with partners to improve cycle access to those stations.
Sustrans and the Cycle Rail Working Group are delighted to support these continued efforts to get the population more active (thereby reducing avoidable calls on the NHS), to reduce carbon emissions and to tackle local poor air quality whilst easing traffic congestion.
