ScotRail Officially Unveils Falco Cycle Hub at Inverness Station

Falco’s cycle hub at Inverness Station has been officially unveiled by ScotRail, providing enhanced cycle parking and facilities for cyclists visiting the north east station.

The new cycle hub, manufactured, supplied and installed by Falco, is delivered as part of the Scottish Government’s 2023 UCI Legacy Cycling Investment Programme, which includes 100 additional cycle spaces, along with a cycle maintenance stand to assist riders with basic repairs. 

The new cycle hub is a key component of ScotRail's cycling strategy and its commitment to promoting sustainable transportation and reducing carbon emissions. By providing high-quality cycle parking facilities, ScotRail aims to encourage more people to cycle to stations, reducing reliance on cars and supporting the Scottish Government's vision for a greener, healthier Scotland.

Based on the flagship FalcoLok design, the 13m x 6m glass clad cycle hub is coupled with the FalcoLevel-Premium+ two-tier cycle parking system, a FalcoFix 2.0 cycle repair station, LED lighting, a secure access system, adaptive cycle parking and wayfinding signage. Falco also supplied the provision of a concrete base.

The cycle hub was developed by Falco’s in house design team to ensure it met the client’s specification including structural calculations to meet the EN 1090 CPR requirements of UK law.

In addition to the Inverness installation shown here, Falco is working closely with ScotRail to roll out similar cycle parking facilities at stations across the ScotRail network, stations include Glasgow Queen Street, Fort William, Gourock, Elgin and Perth stations. This major investment in cycle parking infrastructure is expected to have a significant impact on modal shift, with more passengers opting for a sustainable, healthy, and environmentally friendly travel option.

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.
