Falco Continues the Roll-out of ScotRail Cycle Parking Facilities with New Installations at Huntly, Nairn, Larkhall, Lenzie and Gourock Stations

Falco continues with the roll out of the next tranche of cycle parking facilities across ScotRail's franchised network of over 300 stations across Scotland. Pictured here are four of the latest installations at Huntly, Nairn, Larkhall, Lenzie and Gourock Stations.

The New Year saw 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.

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.

In order to create a network-wide brand feel to encourage more people to cycle to stations ScotRail’s strategy is to install standard facilities throughout the network so that cyclists know exactly what to expect regardless of which station they use.

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, Huntly, Nairn, Larkhall, Lenzie and Gourock stations, with more than twenty further stations to receive secure cycle parking this spring. Upcoming stations include:

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.
