Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has made a recent assessment of the adequacy of the space available for bicycles on trains; and whether he is taking steps to encourage train companies to provide more space for bicycle storage.

In the National Cycling and Walking Plan, and the Plan for Rail, the Government committed to increase space for cycles on existing trains wherever practically possible and that all future train fleets will include more cycle spaces relevant to the markets served. The Department for Transport and the Great British Railways Transition Team will work with train operating companies to deliver these commitments.
