Even more cycle parking at Canterbury West
Wednesday, December 1st, 2010There’s now even more cycle parking parking at Canterbury West station and a shelter has been erected over half of the new cycle parking. It’s great to see that a large amount of the new capacity is already being used, even in these snowy conditions. Well done Southeastern.

Canterbury has recently gained some impressive new cycle parking. There’s space for an additional 60 bicycles at Canterbury West station (pictured left). The new student accommodation at Sargeants Parade boasts space for 50 bicycles under sturdy cover (pictured right). Thanks to everybody that was involved in getting these installed.
We’ve also recently added a cycle parking heat map to our website. The effects of these new cycle parking facilities can easily be seen.
