From
the Dunmow BroadcastIf you park your bicycle at Cambridge railway station’s cycle point, remove the tag to show you’re using it
Train company Greater Anglia is asking cyclists to remove unwanted or unused bikes from the cycle point next to Cambridge station, to help free up space for others.
Abandoned and unused bikes will be removed to free up space, and donated to Colchester charity Re-Cycle, which restores the bikes and donates them to communities in Africa.
Work has now started to attach tags to cycles. Cyclists should remove the tag from their bike before September 19 to indicate it is being used.
Any cycles with tags left on them will be removed and donated to charity.
A story from East Anglia - but haven't I seen comment on abandoned cycles at other stations - Paddington, Oxford and Bristol Temple Meads come to mind.
