Title: Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS)

I notice that the CWIS has been released before the "shut down" for the election.

Not sure how much this will have any effect the railway. There is mention off £30 million for cycling facilities at stations, but how much of this is actually new money? A significant proportion of the money is allocated to local authorities, in the case of Reading probably more smoke and mirrors and little new infrastructure.

More cycle racks probably (where's the smiley I need?!)
