Title: Cycle Boxes Post by: grahame on July 04, 2013, 17:25:14 An increase in cycle numbers is leading to cyclists being told to wait for the next train more frequently. I saw it happen near where we live, though not at our local station, last week. And so it becomes more important to provide cycle storage. There's a great pool area at Paddington, and one at Bristol Temple Meads too, and some open racks at many stations. There are also cycle boxes, presumably for more valuable machines, and I have often wonder who looks after these, where you can arrange to hire them, and on what terms. I found a start of an answer at Harlech today:
(http://www.wellho.net/pix/cyclebox0.jpg) (http://www.wellho.net/pix/cyclebox1.jpg) (http://www.wellho.net/pix/cyclebox2.jpg) Where are these boxes in FGW area? (Yes, I can start by saying "Melksham"). How would I set about hiring them? The Melksham ones have built in locks - where does one get a key from whereas the Harlech ones are built for padlocks which you must provide. Any other differences?
