Work Continues On New Cycle Spaces In East Dunbartonshire

ScotRail is continuing work to install a number of new bicycle spaces at railway stations in East Dunbartonshire.

The investment is part of Abellio's franchise agreement to increase facilities at ScotRail stations in Hillfoot, Bishopbriggs and Lenzie.

With work already completed at Hillfoot Station, 14 new spaces will be created between now and March at Bishopbriggs Station.

David Lister, ScotRail Alliance sustainability and safety assurance director, said: "The new cycle parking facilities at Bishopbriggs Station underline our commitment to making sustainable integrated travel options as easy as possible.


"Cycling is a great way for people of all age groups to increase their level of physical activity and improve their health and wellbeing."

Cllr Alan Moir added: "I welcome this fresh investment in cycling facilities at ScotRail's station - tying in with our work as a Council to promote sustainable transport.

"The investment at Bishopbriggs Station comes as progress continues to be made on the relief road.

"When phase four is finished in the summer, the existing Westerhill Road and bridge will become an active travel corridor for pedestrians and cyclists - linking north and south Bishopbriggs."
