CYCLING AND TRAINS

Early day motion 1279, tabled 17 April 2007 by Colin Challen (Labour). Signed by 81 members.

That this House notes that 60 per cent. of people live within a 15 minute cycle ride of a train station and would directly benefit from improved cycle access to rail services improving both their health, reducing congestion and saving carbon emissions by cycling; and therefore calls upon the Government in its forthcoming Transport White Paper to give priority to better facilities for cyclists wishing to use train services.
